    Lay your head where my heart used to be
    Hold the earth above me
    Lay down in the green grass
    Remember when you loved me

    Come closer don't be shy
    Stand beneath a rainy sky
    The moon is over the rise
    Think of me as a train goes by

    Clear the thistles and brambles
    Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
    Now there's a bubble of me
    And it's floating in thee

    Stand in the shade of me
    Things are now made of me
    The weather vane will say...
    It smells like rain today

    God took the stars and he tossed 'em
    Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
    You'll never be free of me
    He'll make a tree from me

    Don't say good bye to me
    Describe the sky to me
    And if the sky falls, mark my words
    We'll catch mocking birds

    Lay your head where my heart used to be
    Hold the earth above me
    Lay down in the green grass
    Remember when you loved me
