Leaving Traces

Turn the lights on, softly shining
 And leave that woman where she lay
 Make your plans there in the darkness
 You've lived to work another day
 I remember the stories that you told me
 And I remember the roads that we would run
 Speaking of the things that lie before us,
 It kind of seemed like life had just begun
 Tomorrow I will be there
 To shelter you from the storm
 So lay down your weary head now
 Lay down
 Lay down
 Dust the book off, turn the pages
 And let them take you back again
 To see those people leaving traces
 To hear the voice of one old friend
 Once again you hear them say
 Tomorrow I will be there
 To shelter you from the storm
 So lay down your weary head now
 Just lay down
 Lay down
 Lay down
 Lay down
 Just lay down
 Lay down
 Lay your troubles down
 Lay down
