LAY DOWN (Tom Evans/Rod Roach)
[from "Over You (The Final Tracks) CD]
Looking out of my window
See the loneliness inside
No one can tell me 'bout this feeling you get
When a safe kind of love has just died
Holding on
Your love has been holding on
A different kind of life from what you planned
CHORUS:
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
'Cos this feeling inside
Won't hide itself away
Looking out in the memories
Wondering when it all fell down
No one can tell me 'bout the feeling you get
When the half of your life's not around
Holding on
Your love has been holding on
A different kind of life from what you planned
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
CHORUS
Looking out of my window
See the loneliness inside
No one can tell me 'bout this feeling you get
When a safe kind of love has just died
Holding on
Your love has been holding on
A different kind of life from what you planned
CHORUS [3 times]
Lay down, lay down...
Looking out of my window
See the loneliness inside
No one can tell me 'bout the feeling you get
When a half of your life has just died
Holding on
Your love has been holding on
A different kind of life than what you planned
CHORUS:
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
'Cos the feeling inside won't hide itself away
Looking out at my memories
Wondering when it all fell down
No one can tell me 'bout the feeling you get
When a half of your life's not around
Holding on
Your love has been holding on
A different kind of life than what you planned
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
'Cos this feeling inside won't hide itself away
But you keep me holding, holding
But you keep me holding, holding on
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost
Lay down, lay down
Pay your dues and count the cost.
