Standing at the foothills
her pain weaved in the cold
breathless steps forward
movement of the ground
dark clouds fill her despair of old
Seeking more of what she left behind
a forgotten past lay in her wake
a hand held out
tumbling thoughts she did shout
was this to be her fate
her way out
Chorus
Lay me down
rest my soul
where upon this island
life has taken it's toll
shouting out words
that fall so slow
lay me down rest my soul
verse
As the ground muttered noises
beneath her feet so bare
her beauty did astound them
her golden locks of hair
Tumbling down her shoulders
swaying to her song
men lay in her pathway
thirsty to belong
chorus
As each one of their throats dried up
hardly able to breath
the snow flakes fall
gently to her feet
Each man held a rose
in her memory
carefully laying it down
with hearts held heavily
chorus
Never would they forget her
she stamped their hearts laid bare
her beauty it did capture
her skin it was so fair
a life she had lived
these men each playing a part
only one could really steal
this beauty' s beaten heart
As his tears they fell down on her
his loss it was so clear
she was the only woman for him
his mother, he loved so dear
oh gentle whispers follow her
lead her to the light
let her be the brightest star
that fills the darkest night.
Chorus
