Lover Lay Down

Written by David Matthews

Performed by Dave Matthews Band

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
And slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me, won't you kiss me now?
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us, too shy
For knowing it's no big surprise that
I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Oh, please, lover, lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover, lay down
Spend this time with me
Walk with me, walk with you

Hold my hands, your hands
So much we have dreamed
And we were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons, life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me, we're

Lay down, love saved she and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover, lay down

Oh, please
Oh, please, lover, lay down
Oh, please, lover, lay down
And you weep
Lover, lay down
'Cause it's over
Lover, lay down

Say love, say love, say love, say love, say love
I love you
Could I love you? Could you love me?
Could I love you? Could you love me?
Could I love you? Could you love me?
Could I love you? Could you love me?

All the same
All the same
'Til we dance away
Until we dance away
'Til we dance away
'Til we dance away

Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles

Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
