Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
Then I'll have nothing but a song
Could I leave you in a coffin for real
And just leave you in a church

Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn

Lay down, this pain will be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know that you loved me
But I can't love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in that coffin for God
And I'll leave you in the dirt

Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn

    General Comment:I think you guys are wrong. I think this song is about him either killing his girlfriend or wishing she was dead. "This pain will be long gone with the absence of your breath." That makes it sound like he wants her to go.

    General Comment:I know this one isn't as optimistic but personally I think its about a girl he loved who he broke up with and he wishes she were dead

    General Comment:Serge, I disagree to a fault. It seems to me it's more likely that she's passed away, and he realizes that he can't dwell on her. He's still got life in him, so he's going to go on with his life and find something else to live for.
