[Verse 1]
We never said goodbye
Oh, holy sacrament
But I've honored your ring
With fists that won't repent
[Chorus]
Lay me down
Lay me down
Close to you
So near
In the silent ground
And I will hold you
For a million years
[Verse 2]
For better, worse and war
For this lonely child you wed
Arms will rest forevermore
Green grass wave above our heads
[Chorus]
Lay me down
Lay me down
Close to you
So near
In the silent ground
And I will hold you
For a million years
