As I Lay Me Down Tab

Tuning:      


                                       
     It felt like springtime on this february morning
                                               
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
                                          
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
                      
Alright, I carry them with me today now

Chorus
                                                        
    As I lay me down to sleep, yes I pray, that you will hold me dear
                                                
    Though I'm far away, I whisper your name, into the sky
                           
    And I will wake up happy

                                                 
I wonder why ... I feel so high, while I'm not above my sorrow
                               
Heavy hearted 'til you call my name
                                                
And it sounds like churchbells or the whistle of a train
                                                 
On a summer evening I want to meet you there, I'm barely breathing...

2x Chorus

                                                
It's not too near for me, like a flower i need the rain
                                                
Though it's not real to me, every season has its change
                           
And I will see you when the sun comes out again

3x Chorus
