I am a child of earth and starry sky
I was born-born to die
Lay me in the water, lay me to drown
Wake me up from the lake of memory
I'll go down-down to hell and meet 'em
I'll go down and nevermore go there
It was late in the night-they were both sleeping
Little Maggie appeared, standing by the bed
Saying, "How do you like your snow white pillow?
And how do you like your soft white sheet?
How do you like that sweet thing lying in your arms
Lyin' in your arms-arms asleep?"
Ooh ho woah
Well, my friend, I believe you're dying
I tried to take you with me, tried to bring you back
It was all in your mind-all in your mind
I am a child of earth and starry sky
I was born-born to die
Lay me in the water-lay me to drown
Wake me up-lake of memory
