When it rains, lay down.
My roof has got a leak but only when it's raining.
It's a shifty
lookin' beater.
Naked arms and legs and buckets dripping.
The water's
sweet, the woman sweeter.
I'm goin' over Jordan, I'm goin' over
Jordan.
I'm goin way back home to meet her.
When it rains, it pours.
When it rains, lay down.

smile,

Drew me in and I've been here for a
while.

The rhythm of her cool northern
ways,

Drew me in and now I spend my days
EA
Remembering (8x)
Drink from the vessel I drink from. Eat from my plate.
This poor dry
meal my supper, bathe in the taste of my fate.
{chorus}
This conversation began a hundred years ago.
A book of days within that
year,
Body's severed from it's soul.
Dead ground turning, dead ground
turning.
My mind's a tomb within my skull.
{chorus}
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
