jack hardy - if i were to lay me down lyrics

[verse 1]
if i were to lay me down
i would not, could not sleep
the hours of impenetrable darkness
into my room might seep
the candle low, the dimmest hope
the lonely vigil i keep
if i were to lay me down
i know i could not sleep

[verse 2]
if i were to pace the floor
i would not, could not make sense
of all of this earthbound madness
that fights to add halfpence to pence
if love could slip poverty’s grip
without losing all innocence
if i were to pace the floor
i know i could not make sense

[verse 3]
if i wеre to hear your voice
i would not, could not еndure
the lilt of your elegant sadness
that seems such a merciful cure
soft and low, building slow
to a crescendo, a siren’s lure
if i were to hear your voice
i know i could not endure
[verse 4]
if i were to lie beside you
i would not, could not resist
the hardness of all my defenses
could be altered by your softest kiss
your cold desire, iron in fire
could turn my heart into a fist
if i were to lie beside you
i know i could not resist

[verse 5]
if i were to fall in love
i would not, could not love you
your kiss of religious betrayal
the lies that you swore were true
i swore back then, never again
would i trust what you say more than do
if i were to fall in love
i know i could not love you
