Look into the yard
All the flowers find it hard to climb
See the weeds have won
Take the water and the sun
It finds me in the clear
Now you can see
The worst of days
Have got the best of me
So lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep me moving on
When I'm gone
You take me in
With the color of my skin turned gray
Doctor will you let us know
Should we keep or let him go today
We'll bring him home for surgery
With a tweezer and a match
Give, take and flee
So lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep me moving on
When I'm gone
When all is said and done
I never will forget you when I'm gone
Carry on
Withter over me
I can rest in peace of mind
My eyes are wide
But still dark inside
This time
I have it all in front of me
Such a simple world
I could never see
But you gave it all
Over just one day
Found a reason to live
And to pass away
So lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep me moving on
When I'm gone
When all is said and done
I never will forget you when I'm gone
And you carry on
When I'm gone
And you're moving on
