Take the sun away
Bloom no flower
Call the voices off
Send the angels to shelter
The dark rolls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With violets
Where there was hope
Let there now be sorrow
Let no sparrow sing
Light the candles and incense
The clouds roll in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With lilacs
Steal my sight away
Spare no smile on me
Let the wells run dry
Tell my guardian it's over
The night crawls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With darkness
Lay me down
Encompass me
With silence
Bloom no flower
Call the voices off
Send the angels to shelter
The dark rolls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With violets
Where there was hope
Let there now be sorrow
Let no sparrow sing
Light the candles and incense
The clouds roll in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With lilacs
Steal my sight away
Spare no smile on me
Let the wells run dry
Tell my guardian it's over
The night crawls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With darkness
Lay me down
Encompass me
With silence
