[LAY HIM DOWN]
© Krista Detor, [Cover Their Eyes]
On Silver Creek [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
On the banks of the creek [(lay him down by the water)]
And heâll sing his sorrow from a place thatâs hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]
Lay him down
Lay him down
âCause the wage of sin is a place thatâs hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
To sin and woe [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
A wicked way did he go [(lay him down by the water)]
And he sold his soul to a place thatâs hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]
Lay him down
Lay him down
âCause the wage of sin is a place thatâs hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Robert Wright [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
A bloody night when he fell [(lay him down by the water)]
Through the gates of hell to a place thatâs hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]
Lay him down
Lay him down
âCause the wage of sin is a place thatâs hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Child, look away [(lay him down, lay him down by the water)]
From the grave that he made [(lay him down by the water)]
Or heâll sing your name from a place thatâs hotter, lay him down
[(lay him down)]
Lay him down
Lay him down
âCause the wage of sin is a place thatâs hotter
Lay him down, lay him down
Lay him down
Lay him down
On Silver Creek ⦠on the banks of the creek
And heâll sing his sorrow from a place thatâs hotter
Lay him down
