Manhattan Transfer - WHY NOT! (MANHATTAN CARNIVAL) lyrics

Lay me down tonight, I'm falling deep

I'm tired, now i'll sleep

So close my eyes and take me in

I'll leap into the night like wind

I leave my body, leave my sword

So lay me down, father Lord

Lay me down tonight, my heart is weak

Much you give and much you seek

I'll fall into a sea of sleep

This sea of dreams, so real and deep

I leave my spirit, leave my words

So lay me down, Mother Earth

Lay me down tonight, I'm giving in

Let the works of life begin

Your works of chaos, works of grace

Creation, Lord, in your own pace

Word to flesh and flesh to word

Father Lord, Mother Earth
