Píseň: Lay Lady Lay
Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay Stay while the night is still ahead Stay lady stay Heaven's ? fills our head Whatever colors you have in your mind I show them to you and you see them shine Stay lady stay Stay with your man a while Till the break of day Then you're gonna see him smile His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing he's ever seen Why wait any longer for the world to begin You can have your cake and eat it too Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing over you Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay We're gonna build the whole night ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you all night Lay lady lay
