...I LAY ME DOWN

1. CLEAR WATERS   


Clear waters...
clear waters run deep in my soul
And in these clear, clear waters
is silence...
a silence deep
in my soul 
  
Take me to the river, hand in hand we’ll go  
Take me to the river  where the life and death are all one flow  
Take me to the ocean where illusions cease to come and go  
Take me to the source of all that lies beneath eternal snow  
Beyond all confusion ; beyond all dis-ease  
In the quiet of all ages 
Clear waters they run deep in my soul  

 

2. OPENING 


Opening,  touched deep within 

Feeling your presence,  I'm opening.


I'm letting go of all that I know, 

and feeling your presence...

I'm letting go 


I'm falling within, 
and everything is touched by your presence.
I'm falling within

I'm falling deep within, oh, I’m falling

I'm falling deep within, oh I'm opening to your love and your presence

Oh I'm falling within.


'cos I’m opening

and kissed deep within 

Feeling your presence,

I’m, opening. 

 

 

3. I LAY ME DOWN 


Unto shattered fears and ancient tears
...I lay me down 


Unto games once played and plans once laid 
... I lay me down 


Unto shatter fears and ancient tears 
... I lay me down 


I'll leave this race and in it's place this empty space is where I'll 
...lay me down. 

 

 

4. AFTER THE STORM HAS GONE 


After the storm has gone 
Look up and see the dawn 
Struggle and fight no more 
Washed gently on the shore 
Resting and quiet inside 
Moving upon the tide 
‘cos after the storm has gone… 
…life carries on… 

After the storm has passed 
Unsurpassed, vast, at last 
Waters now calm, now clear 
nothing is there to fear 
Drowned, disappeared in grace 
Welcome this empty space 
‘cos after the storm has gone… 
…life carries on… 

After the storm has done 
Bathed in this gentle sun 
Held in the arms of bliss 
Nothing’s more true than this 
‘cos after the storm has gone… 
…life carries on… 

After the storm has gone 
Look up and see the dawn 
Struggle and fight no more 
Washed gently on the shore 
Softly reborn, now healed 
The love that is there, revealed 
‘cos after the storm has gone… 
…life carries on… 

 

5. GOLDEN BOAT 


 Far from the horizon, far upon the shore, 
Far from the horizon, waiting all alone… 
  
Many years she's been waiting, 
all alone, waiting ashore

waiting for her lover, 
waiting all alone, all alone. 
  


Sailor, carry me home to my lover 
carry me home to my love. 

  
Then one day on the Beltane, 
    a ship came sailing by     

It’s golden sails shone bright in the sunlight

   Take me there… to my love.
 

 
 There on the horizon, 
billowing sails in the wind, 
    a Golden Boat is waiting…      

and far from the horizon,

waiting on the shore…      

...I’m going to my love again


Calling you…calling you… calling you…calling you… 

I’m going to my love again… 

  
 …there on the horizon, billowing sails in the wind, a Golden Boat is waiting… 

 

6. FAITH IS A BIRD REVISITED 


Faith is a bird, who flies into the morning 
Faith is that bird, who knows the light is calling 
Faith is a bird, who sings her song 
though the day is still dawning 


Faith is that bird 
whose song I long to hear… 

 

Whose song I long to hear 
Whose song it calls me near 
Whose song I long to hear 
Deep inside 

 

She spreads her wings 
She takes to flight 
She knows the light is calling 
Faith is a bird 
who sings her song 
into the morning. 

 

Let her fly on the wing, 
into the morning. 

 

7. HEART OF GOLD 

There is a Heart of Gold 
That lies within I’m told 
It’ isn’t far, just close at hand 
There is a Heart of Gold 

Despite all doubts and fears 
This Heart of Gold is near 
Like petals of a rose 
Allow it to unfold 

I searched this Heart of Gold 
all my life, 
in vain I tried 
to find this Heart of Gold 

Yet there’s no path, no sign 
into this heart divine 
The door within 
is veiled in secrecy 

It’s time to cease all struggle, 
drop all searching 
let it go 
for what is sought 
is here already 
deep inside 
so near 

Rest in this space untold 
let love divine enfold you 
in her warmth 
and you will find 
there is a Heart of Gold 

 

8. THE WRITING ON THE WALL 


There comes a time in life you turn around, 
see the writing on the wall.

And all the dreams that had been haunting you, 
start to fall. 

Yet in their place you find an emptiness, 
a single moment saying it all... 

And you bow your head and enter in to the crazy merry-go-round of it all.

 

This thing called life it is a mystery, 
I don't get at all, 


For all those things I thought were true,

They don't exist at all. 

Yet in their place I find an emptiness,

a single moment saying it all, 

and I bow my head and enter into the crazy merry-go-round of it all. 


  
... you turn around, 
see the writing on the wall

turn and see the writing on the wall... 


Know the time has come to fall... 


  
There comes a time in life you turn around, 

see the writing on the wall. 

For all the things you thought were true,
they don’t exist at all.


Yet  in their place you find an emptiness, 
a single moment saying it all

...and you bow your head and enter in to the crazy merry-go-round of it all. 

 


  
9. INTO YOUR HANDS 

Into your hands I lay my heart… 
…my heart and soul

into your hands I lay my life... 
…I lay it unto you 

Into your hands I lay my life... 
 I lay my life unto you. 

…I give it... to you... 

Into your hands I lay my heart... 
…I lay it unto you 

Into your hands I lay my heart… 
…my heart and soul... 

I lay them unto you... 

Into your hands I lay my spirit 

into your hands I lay my life 

into your hands I lay my spirit 

into your hands I lay my life 
unto your light 

Into your hands I lay my heart and soul,

I lay them unto you. 

Into your hands I lay my heart.
my heart and soul.... 

Into your hands I lay my life. 
I lay it unto you 
  
Into your hands I lay my life 
I lay my life unto you. 

I lay it unto you... 

I lay my heart and soul unto you 

Oh Beloved 
I lay myself down… 

I lay me down… 

lay me down… 

to you.
