In the Twilight hour
In my Ivory Tower
Staring out across the Sea
I can see the lightning
I can read the writing
I can see what had to be

It had to be



I just cannot understand

How you can call yourself a man

And give away your liberty



Lay me down, Lay me down

Go lay these shattered bones

I'm coming home, I'm going home

Go lay these shattered bones



On a lonesome prairie

Under sky blue heavens

Roamed a cowboy refugee

Nowhere left to go

But the Alamo

Just a one man cavalry

To fight the tyranny



Lay me down, Lay me down

Go lay these shattered bones

I'm coming home, I'm going home

Go take these shattered bones



Oh some are born to see the Light

Oh some are born to Endless Night



In the Twilight hour

In my Ivory Tower

Gazing into an Endless Sea

Here it comes, the lightning

I can read the writing

I can see it had to be



Lay me down, Lay me down

Lay down these shattered bones

I'm coming home, I'm going home

Go lay these shattered bones
