Lay Me Down (Resurrection Version) [Live, The Borderline, London]

They buried me tonight in Corpus Christi

To the sound of my hit from '74

They laid my body down in the cold aching ground

Now you won't see me anymore

I thought it only fair you should be here

To see my final show before a crowd

I died so many times, once more won't hurt this life

This is not the end, it's just the tour

So lay me down, lay me down

Let them know that I'll still be around

Lay me down, lay me down

There's a pretty thing that's waiting underground

The road is smooth and cold as alabaster

It's scarred and cracked, yet perfect just the same

The trees that line my path were all afraid to ask

If I'd be back this way again

Lay me down, lay me down

Let them know that I'll still be around

Lay me down, lay me down

There's a pretty thing that's waiting underground

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is leading me

Sometimes I just can't see the reason why

I guess I'll go on rambling, lots of booze and lots of gambling

Easier than just waiting 'round to die

So lay me down, lay me down

Let them know that I'll still be around

Lay me down, lay me down

There's a pretty thing that's waiting underground

There's a pretty thing that's waiting underground

There's a pretty thing that's waiting underground
