She Will Lay My Body On The Stone - Jack Garratt

I am begging you

Please separate me from myself

I’m begging you

I am on my knees

Praying for mercy

Lay my body down atop the stone

Even though it’s cold

I will keep warm with every year that I have known

But there are still so many things she doesn’t know

How can I tell her I’m unhappy and lonely?

When with you I go

Don’t let her miss me

Please don’t make her suffer for my selfishness

For it was my design

To make her happy

Whispers compared to the symphony she makes

That plays in her smile

And when she moves it’s like the sun is in my eyes

I only want to look upon her beauty

But I’m blinded by her light

Her radiance gone to waste on me

A symphony she makes with her smile

And when she moves it’s like the sun is in my eyes

I only want to look upon her beauty

But I’m blinded by her light

Her radiance has saved me

Oh, I am begging you

To let me stay here

I still have so many years to know

And when I see you next

I will be ready

For she will be with me

A hand to keep mine steady

Oh, she will lay my body on the stone
