When I Lay Down - Janis Ian[00:00:00]
Written by:Janis Ian/Skip Ewing[00:00:01]
They said lay down in the water[00:00:08]
Even though you don't believe[00:00:12]
All your sins will be forgiven[00:00:16]
And your soul will be redeemed[00:00:21]
So I walked into the water[00:00:25]
And I fell down to my knees[00:00:29]
And I took out some insurance[00:00:33]
And I bought a little peace[00:00:37]
But when I lay down I lied[00:00:41]
When I lay down I lied[00:00:50]
He said darling do you love me[00:01:03]
And I said sure I do[00:01:07]
And I led him to believe me[00:01:11]
As I proved that it was true[00:01:15]
Well I let my body love him[00:01:20]
God knows I really tried[00:01:23]
And the comfort of it touched him[00:01:28]
And his heart was satisfied[00:01:32]
But when I lay down I lied[00:01:36]
When I lay down I lied[00:01:45]
To make them happy[00:01:51]
And I lied so they would care[00:01:53]
I lied cause I was lonely[00:01:58]
And I lied cause I was scared[00:02:01]
I lied so some would leave me[00:02:06]
And I lied so some would stay[00:02:10]
I lied until I lied my life away[00:02:15]
I dreamed my life was over[00:02:28]
And they laid me in my grave[00:02:32]
I was frightened of forever[00:02:36]
And the price I'd have to pay[00:02:40]
And I thought that god would hate me[00:02:44]
Cause I'd lived my life in sin[00:02:48]
But I felt the truth embrace me[00:02:53]
As heaven let me in[00:02:57]
And when I lay down[00:03:01]
I lay down and cried[00:03:05]
