《When I Lay Down》歌词

[00:00:00] When I Lay Down - Janis Ian

[00:00:01] Written by：Janis Ian/Skip Ewing

[00:00:08] They said lay down in the water

[00:00:12] Even though you don't believe

[00:00:16] All your sins will be forgiven

[00:00:21] And your soul will be redeemed

[00:00:25] So I walked into the water

[00:00:29] And I fell down to my knees

[00:00:33] And I took out some insurance

[00:00:37] And I bought a little peace

[00:00:41] But when I lay down I lied

[00:00:50] When I lay down I lied

[00:01:03] He said darling do you love me

[00:01:07] And I said sure I do

[00:01:11] And I led him to believe me

[00:01:15] As I proved that it was true

[00:01:20] Well I let my body love him

[00:01:23] God knows I really tried

[00:01:28] And the comfort of it touched him

[00:01:32] And his heart was satisfied

[00:01:36] But when I lay down I lied

[00:01:45] When I lay down I lied

[00:01:51] To make them happy

[00:01:53] And I lied so they would care

[00:01:58] I lied cause I was lonely

[00:02:01] And I lied cause I was scared

[00:02:06] I lied so some would leave me

[00:02:10] And I lied so some would stay

[00:02:15] I lied until I lied my life away

[00:02:28] I dreamed my life was over

[00:02:32] And they laid me in my grave

[00:02:36] I was frightened of forever

[00:02:40] And the price I'd have to pay

[00:02:44] And I thought that god would hate me

[00:02:48] Cause I'd lived my life in sin

[00:02:53] But I felt the truth embrace me

[00:02:57] As heaven let me in

[00:03:01] And when I lay down

[00:03:05] I lay down and cried
