It's been so loud in here It's been too many days I've thought of so many paths My mind is turnin' too many ways Hold my head Lay me down to sleep Lay me down It's my soul you gotta keep I'm cryin' out for a straight mind And all I'm seein' Oh, I'm blind And I've seen too many seasons There's just not been near enough time Oh, speak peace to me Oh, speak peace to my bones Oh, speak peace to me Hold me home I went sleepin' in a Riverbed But the sunshine dried it up I've been, oh I've been lookin' for fruit But the trees are all dead I ain't been fed I'm a dead man walkin' I'm a dead man walkin' Oh it's a dead tongue talkin' Ooo Hold my head Lay me down to sleep Lay me down It's my soul you gotta keep 'Cause I've heard too much And I've run too far away Too many times
