lyrics

Lay your head down Mother
Lay your head down my friend
One last whisper to the heavens, Ave
Then lay your head down

The room is quiet but noise creeps in from the hall
Laughter blasting onto silent ears
There's no ghost here, no lingering longing
Why are the walls so white

Lay your head down Mother
Lay your head down my friend
One last whisper to the heavens, Ave
Then lay your head down

In the silence I try to swallow every tear
But you're so lovely tears sneak up on me
I am weeping but don't shed a tear for me
Just enter arms wide open

And hold your little girl from 1929
Hold that little girl who's ever on your mind
Hold that little girl from 1929
Or will she hold you

Lay your head down Mother
Lay your head down my friend
One last whisper to the heavens, Ave
Then lay your head down

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria

Lay your head down Mother
Lay your head down my friend
One last whisper to the heavens, Amen
Then lay your head down
