Companion (lay Me Down) Lyrics
When I saw the reflection of the sky
In the pools of water we drove by
In the ditch on the side of the road
On the way to the bridge where looking down just right
Oh it felt like we were moving
Then I caught the waves wrinkle the moon
And they kissed my body just beyond the shore
I talked you into a stone and skipped you across the water
But it was me who was really sinking
Lay me down
Down on the bottom
Come crashing over me
You'll be a dancer as I walk beside you
Then I saw the buildings leaning in
To touch heads where the yellow lines run
Looking down on the fool slowly walking
What did he feel like he was proving
Lay me down
Down on the bottom
Come crashing over me
You'll be dancer as I try to catch you
In the pools of water we drove by
In the ditch on the side of the road
On the way to the bridge where looking down just right
Oh it felt like we were moving
And they kissed my body just beyond the shore
I talked you into a stone and skipped you across the water
But it was me who was really sinking
Down on the bottom
Come crashing over me
You'll be a dancer as I walk beside you
To touch heads where the yellow lines run
Looking down on the fool slowly walking
What did he feel like he was proving
Down on the bottom
Come crashing over me
You'll be dancer as I try to catch you

great melody. great tune. great song. its sad but happy. i cant figure it out if i should cry or smile when i hear it... but its great anyway.
Very under rated song for WMM. Deep meaning. Just great to listen to. Love it.
This is by far my favourite WMM song.
I get the feeling he's looking back, and remembering good times. Or saying how great it was, but how the relationship with this person didnt last because of him. Hense the "But it was me who was really sinking" Not quite sure.
This is possibly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Definitely under rated. Would not be surprised to hear a remake in the near future.
