Requiem For My Mother

My brother's spirit came to me when I was weak
He said, "My dear Mother, lay down to sleep
Lay down, dear Mother, lay down and rest your tired head
I know you're just sleeping, I know you are blessed"

Lay down, dear Mother, lay down and rest your head
I know you're sleeping, I know you are blessed

I know, my dear Mother, just let yourself down to sleep
For I'll miss you now to so many tears while I weep
To lay down, dear Mother, lay down and rest your tired head
I know you're just sleeping, I know you are blessed

I know, dear Mother, you lay yourself down to sleep
And I'll miss you now to so many tears while I weep
