Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Lie Down in the Light lyrics

When the sun welcomes us in and the earth's protective skin fails and peels back, face to chin then we start it all again why do you frown? why do you try? why don't you lie down in the light? Who's gonna hold my heart Who's gonna be my own own own? Who's gonna know when all is dark that she is not alone? Heed this word: beware for my heart's ways are unclear a fundamental prayer leaves the evil one stripped bare why do you frown? why do you try? why don't you lie down in the light? Who's gonna hold my heart Who's gonna be my own own own? Who's gonna know when all is dark that she is not alone? everybody says that it's all right to be there everybody says that it's all right to show time and again one of us falls behind it's as if we tried to know what we can't really know
