Lay down your head
And sleep, sleep
I'll be your pillow
Soft and deep
Leave me your troubles
I will keep
Your days gone by
Your days gone by
Lay down your head
And dream, dream
You're so much gentler
Than you seem
Is there a chance
You might redeem
My days gone by
My days gone by
And oh
His breath is so warm
Mine is short
And my ears are ringing
Everywhere my skin is singing
Lay down your head
And sleep, sleep
I will be pleased your soul to keep
Give yourself over to the deep
Of days gone by
Of days gone by
