lyrics

Her eyes watch his sleeping frown
But the tremble of upturned lips
From a moment's happy dream
Keep her anxious arms at bay.

Should she hold him?
Should she keep him away?
On this night a woman does pray.

Lay your head, man
Lay thee down beside me
We've the morning for bravery and parting
But for now just lay your head
Lay your head

Bye and bye she will surrender
The privilege of his every moment
He will leave her as all men must
But every footstep echoes through her.

And does she follow?
Does she find the strength to wait?
On this night a woman does pray.

Lay your head, man
Lay thee down beside me
We've the morning for bravery and parting
But for now just lay your head
Lay your head.

He will listen always. It will not fail to call.
He will listen always, and when it does, stand tall.
He will listen always. He cannot turn away.
He will listen always. A woman does pray.

Lay your head, man
Lay thee down beside me
We've the morning for bravery and parting
But for now just lay
But for now just lay
But for now, but for now
But for now just lay your head.
