Will you lay me down
Will you lay me down
Will you lay me down inside heavens walls
Where every soul is a setting sun

Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand down to the waters edge
Where every sin has been washed away

But I can't run if I can't walk
And I won't love if I can't stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath 'til your heart stops

Will you let them pass
Will you let them pass
Will you let them pass across this killing floor
Where every shadow is cast in stone

But I can't run if I can't walk
And I won't love if I can't stop
Every minute the pressure drops
From your first breath 'til your heart stops

Carry me
Carry me
But you take, take, it's never enough
You just take, take, it's never enough
You just take, take every part of me
All of me
