Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lay Down in Sorrow (Pharis & Jason Romero
Well, now I have the exact words, direct from Pharis and Jason Romero who kindly replied to my email, so I'd better set the record straight for these words:

The softest words that I'll ever hear,
Are ones you said to me:
"No love will live while I am here,
Alone in old misery."

Lay down in sorrow; lay down and weep.
Lay down with God as you feel.
Lay down in sorrow; lay down and weep.
You will deliver yourself.

Now I am both sorrowed and glad,
As I am but for you,
And God has said that you are for me,
So lay down as prayers would do.

When I die on the loneliest night,
Close my eyes with a nickel or dime.
I won't have used all the love that I could,
For the waiting to want you for mine.

Lay down in sorrow; lay down and weep,
Lay down with God as you feel.
Lay down in sorrow; lay down and weep,
You will deliver yourself.
Lay down in sorrow; lay down and weep,
And you will deliver yourself.
