I will give you my Excalibur
you wield it like no other king can
Twist the blade, undress my heart
where you can heal your battled hand
CHORUS:
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
I will lead you where I wish I did not live
Will you plant me violets there?
and fold me in the dawning of your arms?
Will you catch my weary tears?
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Restless One come rest with me
Lay your vigil down
Love's the treasure of your wanderings
May love bejewel your crown
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Warrior, I won't let you down
I will give you my Excalibur
You wield it like no other king can
you wield it like no other king can
Twist the blade, undress my heart
where you can heal your battled hand
CHORUS:
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
I will lead you where I wish I did not live
Will you plant me violets there?
and fold me in the dawning of your arms?
Will you catch my weary tears?
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Restless One come rest with me
Lay your vigil down
Love's the treasure of your wanderings
May love bejewel your crown
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Lay me down my king
Warrior, I will lay you down
Warrior, I won't let you down
I will give you my Excalibur
You wield it like no other king can
