Lay Down Your Head - Audra McDonald

Lay down your head and sleep, sleep

I’ll be your pillow, soft and deep

Leave me your troubles, I will keep your days gone by

Your days gone by

Lay down your head and dream, dream

You’re so much gentler than you seem

Is there a chance you might redeem my days gone by?

My days gone by

And, oh, his breath is so warm

Mine is short, and my ears are ringing

Everywhere my skin is singing

Lay down your head and sleep, sleep

I will be pleased your soul to keep

Give yourself over to the deep of days gone by

Of days gone by
