Shhh....
Lay down
Lay me down
Lay me down to sleep
Shhh....
Close your eyes
Close your soft eyes
Close your soft eyes and begin to weep
Shhh....
Hear the door
They open the door
They open the door to me
Shhh....
Slowly they creep
Crawling to my sheets
Sliding them off to see
Shhh....
Whisper now
Whisper now their lullaby
Sing to them their lullaby
Shhh....
Fingertips on your legs
Fingertips on your back
The prayer was a lie
Shhh....
Lay down
Lay me down
Lay me down to sleep
Shhh....
Close your eyes
Close your soft eyes
Close your soft eyes and begin to weep
Shhh....
Fingertips on my face
Fingertips on my chest
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me....
Shhh....
Whisper now
Whisper now their lullaby
Sing to them their lullaby
Shhh....
Lay down
Lay me down
Let the blood seep
Shhh....
Hear the door
They close the door
They close the door of me
Shhh....
Breathe, please breathe
End the tears
Open your eyes
Open your eyes............please
Shhh....
Shhhh....... Shhhhhhh.......
I lay down
I lay me down
I lay me down to sleep
Look at my life
I see my life
I close my eyes
No longer cry
I did not die
There was truth in the lie
Shhhh.....
Close your eyes
Close your soft eyes
Close your soft eyes and breathe in me
