Lay Down Your Heart (Bagamoyo)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The day you left I was a stranger to you
The air was still the sky was grey
A pale moon led you through a starless night
A quiet sea took you away

Now time is not enough to do the healing
And words are not enough to heal your pain
But together maybe we can find a different space
A secret place where all our memories remain

[Chorus]
So lay down your heart for me
Be strong and set me free
Walk away but still remain
Change it all but stay the same

And don't forget
A world within's a world apart
So lay down your heart
Lay down your heart

[Verse 2]
In dreams you'll walk along a different path
The morning air will taste so sweet
You'll lift your face towards blue African skies
You'll feel her earth beneath your feet

As evening falls you'll reach a different place
Where the warm December wind whispers your name
And as you look out from the shores of Bagamoyo
A million stars will know you came
Because like you they've come home again

[Chorus]
So lay down your heart for me
Be strong and set me free
Walk away but still remain
Change it all but stay the same

And don't forget
A world within's a world apart
So lay down your heart
Lay down your heart
