Lyrics
Take my hand precious lover
Lay me down, lay me down
Bring me strength, bring me cover
Lay me down, lay me down
It was written in the stars
It was written in these scars
Darling you rescued me and laid me down
Fill my cup gentle lover
Let me drink, let me drink
Sweet and slow 'til I recover
Big and strong let me sink
Like a pebble in the lake
Leaving circles in my wake
Fill my cup, gentle lover let me drink
I played in every town from Jacksonville to Puget Sound
I'm done with sublimation alcohol, medication
All the rambling
I would trade my wedding dress
For the rambling
For a night of tenderness
Shut my eyes tender angel with a kiss
With a kiss
Keep me safe from any danger except for this
Except for this
Take me out along the brink where I don't need to think
Shut my eyes tender angel with your kiss
I played in every town at County Fairs and Battle Grounds
I'm done with sublimation alcohol, medication
All the rambling
I would trade my wedding dress
For the rambling
For a night of tenderness
I played in every dive for twenty years
I'm still alive
How many broken strings to pick and tune
To play these things
I'm done with sublimation alcohol, medication
All the rambling
I would trade my dignity
For the rambling
For a night of sympathy
Take my hand precious lover
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
