Never Before

Lay down your head and weep mama

Lay down next to me

Till you cross the borders of sleep mama

Lay down next to me

Wish no words of sorrow

Nor whisper words of spite

Let the darkness in your heart

Melt into this night

Oh-oh Never Before, Never Before did it break like that

Oh-oh Never Before, Never Before did it feel so bad

Drink some more of my wine mama

Take some more of my bread

There's a million songs to be sung

But not a word to be said

If I call on the angel of mercy

If I call on the angel of light

I'm way outta line but there ain't much time

Storm gonna break tonight

Lay down your head and weep mama

Lay down next to me

Till you cross the borders of sleep mama

Lay down next to me

Send a prayer up above to the pure white dove

Flying so high

I think the angel of mercy

Must have heard you cry
