Rest my rope burned head
Where should I hang my head?
Where should I hang my head?
Can I lay it on your chest?
So I remember what a heartbeat is.
It would thump thump thump
The darkness in my life away!
Where should I lay my head?
On spun rope to soon be death?
Dangling upon somber threads...
Pull me down, lay me on your chest.
So I can hear thump thump thump.
So I can not be dead!
Where should I lay my head?
