lyrics

The rock was beaten by the water; the water, beaten by the wind. The wind was beaten by the wings of an eagle who is starved ‘neath the rocks so thin. You can watch it all from the safety of your window when the frost’s not in the way, but when it’s you who finds themselves defeated: I will lay where you lay.

The angels will haul you up to heaven, or the demons will drag you down below. If I were you, I wouldn’t fret about where they take you; we end up where we ought to go. But if those bastards split us like a wishbone, if they lock our souls away, then I’ll climb up that million miles of mountain and I’ll lay where you lay.

Lucifer, he is down by the water. He is sleeping on the sand. Now’s our chance. Let’s build ourselves a boat, babe; find a world we can understand. I remember how you shone under the moonlight on the nights you made me stay, how you glowed there against me through the darkness and you asked me just to lay where you lay. So, I will lay where you lay.
