Falling down was not what it used to be the ground grown too hard with the years. He told his children those little white lies the truth would only paralyze them. He told himself those little white lies the truth would only paralyze him. Lay it down, lay it down. He sold most of what he cherished, the rest he let them steal. Shot his dog out in the open field, the rest he let them steal. He broke all of his promises, under a sea green sky. They never thought to ask him why, under a sea green sky. Lay it down, lay it down. Please bury me in the cottonwood trees this ground grown too cold for me. Going to sleep tonight in a warm feather bed this ground grown too cold for me. Lay it down, lay it down. Album Lyrics: Radio One Sessions [2002] Cowboy Junkies "Radio One Sessions [2002]" 1. A Common Disaster 2. Lay It Down 3. Lonely Sinking Feeling 4. The Last Spike
