Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my
man
Wipe the blood from your face and your
hands
Forgive yourself if you think you can
Go to sleep, go to s
leep my m
an
[Intro Riff]
Twenty-one days lost at sea I
fought
For twenty-two years non-stop I’ve t
alked
Through the desert, psed drunk, and confused I
walked
I spit a tooth in the
palm of my han
d
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my
man
Wipe the blood from your face and your
hands
Forgive yourself if you think you can
Go to sleep, go to s
leep my m
an
Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on
me
They sing my funeral song in har
mony
Well I just want to walk home unaccompan
ied
But they keep singing they keep s
inging they keep si
nging
they keep s
inging they keep sin
ging and si
nging to
me
[Bridge with Intro Riff]
La, La, La,
La, La, La (Si
nging to me)
La, La, La,
La, La, La (I
hear them singing)
La, La, La,
La, La, La (Oh
!)
Well I wish things were different, true, and d
eep
But everything that’s so shallow is everything about
me
You know they told me I could just take my money and
leave
I hope the people on the g
round will understan
d
I hope the people in the c
rowd will understand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my
man
Wipe the blood from your face and your
hands
Forgive yourself if you think you c
an
Go to sleep, go to s
leep my m
an (La, La)
Go to sleep, go to s
leep my m
an (La, La)
Go to sleep, go to s
leep my m
an
