You were there
I dont know why
Maybe we were brothers
In another time
Among a hundred trains
And all those trite refrains
Somehow you let your train go by

I said I've never felt pain
I travel in submarines
Don't think I'd make much of a swimmer
So I live under the waves
Because you cannot sink
If you dont try to swim
But somehow I just let you in

And I don't know how you made it past my guards
You knew the secret of their hearts

So lay me down gently
Gather me to you
On a sleepy sea of indigo and blue
Sing me a song thats tender
And love will come to you
On a sleepy sea my love will come to you

You said I understand your sense of fear
The city's made of timber and the flames are on the hill
But in a still born world, in a strange and troubled time
I will sing you lullabies

And I don't know what tomorrow has in store
But I will pin my heart to yours

So lay me down gently
Gather me to you
On a sleepy sea of indigo and blue
Sing me a song that's tender
And love will come to you
On a sleepy sea my love will come to you

And at the crumbling of the hour, in her twilight evening gown
Over waters emerald green we'll watch the silver sun go down

So lay me down gently
Gather me to you
On a sleepy sea of indigo and blue
Sing me a song thats tender
And love will come to you
On a sleepy sea my love will come to you
