Lay Her Down

Let her dance, in the spirits of the night
She knows what she gets…in life

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show
Lay her down, lay on the floor
In bed of dry leaves…make a noise
Aah…

I can hear those drums very far
And the song they sing in a row
In the scent of the rose on her hair
On her eyes those lines they draw
She’s dressed in tribal wrap
With silver on the hip
She’s done in the kindle
Of very first bathe

Tradition, in the rituals of the tribe
In beauty of a girl…they praise

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show

Virgin for the girl is lost
She baths first time in first light
Woman, she’s dressed in lust
She looks for love and the cut
Now a verge ascends to flight
And sails are busting light
She’s breaking the riddle
For very first time

Possession, someone knocks on the door
And a man takes her hand…she weds

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show
Lay her down, lay on the floor
In bed of dry leaves…make a noise
Aah…

And her man when he goes for the day
Early dawn, for the catch keep his pay
In the dark, a shadow slips through
And it’s loud on the straw, this true
But no one knows who came
Rumours are to blame
She mates in the middle
Of very first night

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show

Lay her down, lay on the floor
In bed of dry leaves…make a noise
Aah aah aah…
She’s done and she comes…undone

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show

Lay her down, where the waves wash the shore
And blood on the sand…let show
