From the recording A Long Way From Graceland
Lyrics
Lay Your Love On Me
Well I was born under-cooked & in a haze
I was born under-cooked to incubate
I wondered what life might be bringin’ but I never had the time to start a thinkin’
Cos’ I’s born under-cooked & in a haze
My tone was calm & steady right from the start
Yeah my tone was calm & steady playin’ my part
As my mind flowed like a rivers rage through a mid-September hurricane
My tone was calm & steady right from the start
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & make me sing
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & wet my dream
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
My heart’s just like a lion no one could tame
Well my heart’s just like a lion locked in a cage
As the rain crashed down on a stormy sea I realize it’s all bittersweet
My heart’s just like a lion no one could tame
Time’s been movin’ on like a big ol’ wheel
Yeah time’s been movin’ on, I can’t sit still
I don’t like to drink anymore or less so give me more time & I’ll confess
Time’s been movin’ on like a big ol’ wheel
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & make me sing
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & wet my dream
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Time’s been movin’ on like a big ol’ wheel
Yeah time’s been movin’ on, I can’t sit still
I don’t like to drink anymore or less so give me more time & I’ll confess
Time’s been movin’ on like a big ol’ wheel
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & make me sing
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey hey there pretty little thing, won’t you come around here & wet my dream
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
Hey, babe, lay your love on me
