Too many days I wake up with an aching
Too many days have been wasted like sand
Too many hours have gone by without notice
Too many times i’ve let go of your hand
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
Lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength
All of the time I’m reminded of failures
My tongue has bathed in spit from a thief
(I am) dancing as close as I can to desire
(I am) repeating my shortcomings loud to myself
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
Lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength
Too many years have been wasted like money
Too many nights I wake up with a cry
Too many years have gone by without notice
Too many times I have wanted to die
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
Lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength
