Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus 
By the trembling skylines
By the fox's vineyard, by the snowman's eyes
Oh, lay me down by the black boys 
Lay me down by the blue boys

And lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus 
By the fever of your cold feet
Where the soil goes hungry
Where the pretty worms hide

Oh, lay me down by the highways 
By the messianic roadmaps
And lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus 
By the muddy river Jordan
By the teeth of pianos, by the punk rock bands

Oh, lay me down by the coffins of the paperboy's parents
And lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms
Oh, lay me down, sweet Jesus
In the holy war zones
By Jerusalem's cancer, by my baby's blood

Oh, lay me down in the pastures 
Where your crosses gathers
And lay me down in the sweetness of my father's arms

    A Yes, we may be hidden by rags, but we've something they'll never have
    B Why pamper life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
    C Send at least one thoughtful letter, my heart goes out to you
    D In the days when you were hopelessly poor, I just liked you more
