I will lay me down for her 
I will lay me down 
Leaning on the evening star 
Turn it towards the dawn 

Part holds on tide like a sail 
Part flies on a lone 
There is nowhere else to go 
Now that summer's gone 

I can't tell where I let off 
And where she begins 
So you won't know which one you see 
Whenever I walk in 

We have been for way too long 
Separate and alone 
Together we must place our time 
I am coming home 

Beat and broken 
I arrive 
Pieces all around 
A careful eye assembles me 
Before she takes me down 
Down 

I will lay me down for her 
I will lay me down 
Leaning on the evening star 
Turn it towards the dawn 

Together we'll begin the fall 
Autumn and beyond 
We'll steal and burn the chilly nights 
Now that summer's gone 
Now that summer's gone 

Away
