Lyrics
Though now we douse the fire too early,
Lay Me Down, Oh Lay Me Down.
I was roused now I am weary.
Lay Me Down,Oh Lay Me Down.
Tonight you told my heart a secret
And I promise I will tell.
Your heart swells when I am near it
And you yearn to learn me well.
I see the reaching of your shadow
In the dear and flick'ring glow.
I regard it as my bound'ry.
All the world I care to know.
I hear the rhythm of your breathing
And the murmur of your dreams.
I am still and captivated
By this quiet symphony.
I can smell the joy of our engaging.
How we mingled, mixed and strained.
Though we spent all our amazing.
In an instant, 'twas regained.
As I touch your skin beside me
All my rev'rence rushes in.
Unbidden, you nuzzle to me.
Wakeful patience for the win.
There's a taste recalling our first moments
Of honeyed whiskey on our tongue.
May we taste, when we are olden,
Just the way we did when we were young.
I will tell all the world our secret
As I promised I would tell.
My heart swells when you are near it
And I yearn to learn you well.
