For I shall carry this weight 
Of the words I wished to say 
For just one moment, I'll give back all my yesterdays 
For all of the songs no longer sound the same 
As I keep reaching back for one more day 

Lay me down upon your darkness 
Lay me down upon your fears 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
Lay me down 

No more promises to be kept or made 
Within my wounded silence 
And the mourning that never fades 
For all of the roads that we walked 
They no longer look the same 
As I keep reaching back for one more day 

Lay me down upon your darkness 
Lay me down upon your fears 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
Lay me down 

Falling so far 
So far from what I've known
Falling so far 
Can I find my way back home? 

Lay me down upon your darkness 
Lay me down upon your fears 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
Lay me down upon your darkness 
Lay me down upon your fears 
Lay me down across the waters that gather all your tears 
Lay me down
