VERSE 1:
Oh the winter of emotions
Sometimes steals into my head
It's the tundra of the shutdown
It's the burying the dead
And I'd like to make my springtime
But I have no real recourse
Except to wait on some long loving
From some deep and pure source
CHORUS:
And You lay me down
us4
You whisper somehow
I can hear it when I'm very still
You don't ever touch me
Or chase away the chill
/ us4
But one day soon You will
VERSE 2:
Oh the art of all my problems
Is in how they're resolved
I try until I'm hopeless
And then a hand so soft
Is brushing back my hair
From its clinging to my face
From crying God I live in
Such a weak and desperate place
REPEAT CHORUS:
And You lay me down
us4
You whisper somehow
I can hear it when I'm very still
You don't ever touch me
Or chase away the chill
/ us4
But one day soon You will
BRIDGE: (bridge lick twice, then) A7, A7sus4, A7, A7sus4
REPEAT CHORUS: (raised an octave, and louder)
And You lay me down
us4
You whisper somehow
I can hear it when I'm very still
You don't ever touch me
Or chase away the chill
But one day soon You will
TAG: (back down an octave, and softer)
You don't ever touch me
Or chase away the chill
But one day soon
You will.
OUTRO: A7sus4, A7, A7sus4, A7, A
