Lyrics

lay down my darlin'
let your eyelids slide closed
in the crackle of the static
as the fabric unfolds

adrift on a golden ocean
beneath a white spiral sky
I shrink into the distance
and bid you goodbye

for only you make me feel
like a wave that could break
through the wheel

and roll around the bend
and down the divide
swim down to the bottom
and up through the other side

lay down my darlin'
in the peaceful dark deep

free from all evil
in the sweetness of sleep

I'll await you down below
the top of that distant plateau

sail through
the moonlight to
the top of the hill
where she sinks into the ceiling
pulled through the hole
she won't fill

lay down my darlin'
let your eyelids unfold
the crack in the doorway
is slidin' closed
