Sitting in the sunshine, trying to sing the blues away
Wondering why they came and how long they'll stay
Picking out a little tune I never heard before
Yes, and wishing you were here at the door
Won't you lay me down easy
Lay me down easy in my mind
'Cause babe, I've got the blues
And there's something you can do
You can lay me down easy in my mind, in my mind
Well babe, you know how it is when you wake up feeling old
You wonder if you're doing what you should
And everyone around you, they can't read what's on your mind
And they might not want to if they could
Won't you lay me down easy
Lay me down easy in my mind
'Cause babe, I've got the blues
And there's something you can do
You can lay me down easy in my mind, in my mind
Now the seasons of my life, they go turning through the days
I've seen bitter winters come and go
And here I am in sunny times not feeling like I could
And wondering when the winds will start to blow
Won't you lay me down easy
Lay me down easy in my mind
'Cause babe, I've got the blues
And there's something you can do
You can lay me down easy in my mind, in my mind
