↓ LYRICS ↓

When you’re numb to the touch
You cannot chase this ghost away
And this too shall pass, this too shall pass
It won’t always be the same

And every single scar that you claim
Is a stone in the path to this place
And every single choice that you make
Has led you this way so lay your head on me

Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me

Don’t be afraid love

And I can see it in your eyes love
Your secret is not safe with me
You can spin through the night with your powdered mind
But don’t cover up your scars for me

And every single choice that you make
Is a stone in the path to this place
And every single cut that you claim
Has led you this way

Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me

Don’t be afraid love

I said it’s okay it’s alright
Someday we will be fine
Staring down the long night
Waiting for the sunrise
It’s alright it’s okay
I’ve been there in your place
It’s okay it’s alright

Just lay your head on me
(it’s okay it’s alright)
Lay your head on me
(it’s okay it’s alright)
Lay your head on me
(it’s okay it’s alright)
Lay your head on me
(it’s okay it’s alright)

Don’t be afraid love

The voice that can quiet the noise in my head. He is incredible.

[meganlowery]

This is the last song I got to share with my dad before he passed in Aug 2020. We were lovers of music. He often called my music weird but there were some gems in them. This one though, he was in the hospital and I fought my way in because of the pandemic. I played it for him in his room, we both started crying. At the end of it I wiped his tears and told me that it was absolutely lovely. I will forever cherish that moment and this song.

[heatherhedden]

A song version of a hug. You know, one of those from the person you love that completely wraps you up and melts all your worries and sorrows away ❤️❤️❤️

[quagmire]

That squeal from fingers sliding on the guitar strings! So natural and organic. I love it. Wish artists didn’t get so caught up in post-production. These little nuggets give a recording character.

[tracyshores]

Lost my son a year ago. Love this song. I play for him..❤

[katchen]

That voice gets to me on a spiritual level I never thought possible.

[abubardewa]

Very fortunate to see this guys perform live. Absolutely brilliant

[tamarahanan]

This song always gets me thru my darkest days and nights. The words are so powerful !!!

[gtenner]

Marcus Mumford, ...the talent flowing so gracefully out of you...whoa...I can no longer breathe.

[ddjgaray]

Marcus is one of my favorite vocalists!

"Every single scar that she claims is a stone in the path to this place"
Standing stock still shivery sighing, shook

[laney]

When you're numb to the touch
You cannot chase this ghost away
And this too shall pass, this too shall pass
It won't always be the same
And every single scar that you claim
Is a stone in the path to this place
And every single choice that you made
Has led you this way, so lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Don't be afraid of love
And I can see it in your eyes, love
And your secret is not safe with me
You can spin through the night, with your powdered mind
But don't cover up your scars for me
And every single choice that you made
Was a stone in the path to this place
And every single cut that you claim
Has led you this way, lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
Don't be afraid of love
I said it's okay, it's alright
Someday, we will be fine
Staring down the long night
Waiting for the sunrise
It's alright, it's okay
I've been there in your place
It's okay, it's alright
Just lay your head on me
(It's okay, it's alright)
Lay your head on me
(It's okay, it's alright)
Lay your head on me
(It's okay, it's alright)
Lay your head on me
(It's okay, it's alright)
Don't be afraid of love
