Got dust on my piano; and dishes in the sink;
Your side of the bed is cold, I haven’t slept a wink,
So I read your goodbye letter to the face inside my drink.
So lay me down and roll me out to sea.
Got your picture in my wallet, and some pictures in my mind,
A pocket full of memories, I never thought I’d find.
And it’s raining like a monday, and the world seems so unkind.
So lay me down and roll me out to sea.
Lay me down and roll me out to sea, callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me.
Lay me down, roll me out to sea. Heaven, if you’re ready, shine your light on me.
Now listen to my story, ’cause I haven’t told it all;
I saw her with her new love. She turned to me and called;
When they asked “How’re you doin’?”, I could have crumbled like a wall.
So lay me down and roll me out to sea.
Lay me down and roll me out to sea, callin’ on a mighty wave to cover me.
Lay me down, roll me out to sea. Heaven, if you’re ready, shine your light
Shine your light on me.
