Lay Your Head Down

In the night I heard you crying
Whispering words of regret
I can smell the whiskey from my bed
It's something I'll never forget

And by the light of the morning sun
You're up as quick as the breeze
But you don't recall a thing from the night
I'm finding that hard to believe

Won't you lay your head down
Don't drink all your troubles away
For I know that you're strong enough
To find your way home someday

For all thy faults I love you still
But the suffering that you gave well
Would take a lifetime to heal
And a lifetime to take
We're living in this Merry Hell

Won't you lay your head down
Don't drink all your troubles away
For I know that you're strong enough
To find your way home someday

And I remember when you told me
Be the best man you can
For that life will pass you by so fast
You'll feel like a candyfloss man

Won't you lay your head down
Don't drink all your troubles away
For I know that you're strong enough
To find your way home someday

Won't you lay your head down
Don't drink all your troubles away
For I know that you're strong enough
To find your way home someday

For I know that you're strong enough
To find your way home someday
