[Verse 1]

So we got stra

ight to the he

art
              
And I was a co

              
ward and worse

         
 to my shame

I fell hard upon the weightless weeks
              
But wasted eve

     
ry day

‘Til you emerged in the park
              
Like some patr

              
on of Washingt

        
on Square

For the first time in a long time
              
Inside everyth

              
ing stood clea


r

So went out to find me a job
              
But I didn't t

              
hink I would h

              
old this one d

   
own

It gives the same old sinking feeling
              
Of fucking ham

              
mers in my bow

 
els

But you are good to me still
              
And when my ol

              
d man was near

          
 to the end

You loved his broken body

In thе same way that I did


[Chorus]
          
I wanna lay me

   
 down
              
And be lovеr o

          
f the year
             
In this strang

       
e new town
              
This strange h

         
emisphere


[Verse 2]
 
God, it was st

ate of the art
              
You called eac

              
h of my sorrow

        
s by name

And a tide of tender mercies
              
Shook my body 

             
from the grave

And in the festival years
              
Of our makeshi

        
ft parade

In perpetual fall
              
And immeasurab

       
le rain

I wanna see this one out
              
And I wanna jo

              
in the impossi

        
ble swing

And fall hard beside you
              
Screaming at t

              
he bowels of e

        
verything

And in the Islington morn
              
You're the ang

        
el of 8th

And what's more, the goddamn greatest thing

That Laney ever made


[Chorus]
          
I wanna lay me

   
 down
              
And be lover o

         
f the year
             
And in this st

             
range new town
              
This strange h

        
emisphere
             
You persuade m

    
e now
              
To look closer

             
 in the mirror
             
And I wanna la

        
y me down
              
For years and 

              
years and year

          
s and years
