Won't You Lay Down Beside Me

Brand new song getting a trial run at Casino Baumgarten Studios in Vienna.

Don't scratch the surface
go dig deep
but there are stories buried here I keep
covered over under dusty sheets
in the attic
where my skeletons hide
most of the time
stowed away out of sight and mind
but when you're away
and the moon is high
I can hear them rattling

won't you lay down beside me
and we'll float downstream
I'm so tired of swimming
won't you come on in
won't you come on in

I remember it well
a Berlin hotel
a darkened doorway but I don't kiss and tell
I was moving to the rhythm of the tolling bell
you gave me syncopation
I was yours to discover
yours to bleed
I found a place I never want to leave
I don't need the things that I thought I'd need
when I was without you

won't you lay down beside me
and we'll float downstream
where the water is calmer
and the air is clean

won't you lay down beside me
and we'll float downstream
I'm so tired of swimming
won't you come on in
won't you come on in
