Letra de «Rita»
Lay down softly in our sorrow
Lay down sister to die
And cover over, my sweet Father
Cover over her eyes
Your broken body, it cannot weather The years your youth still longs to spend So go down graceful, sleep with the angels And wake up whole again
‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line A fallen world took your life
But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down
Slower passing are the hours To tell this tale that takes its time But the finest moment, no man can measure Is to look your Savior in the eyes
So take her tender to Your table Take her from this killing floor To taste the water that is forever Let her be thirsty no more
It was not her time; that's a useless line A fallen world took her life
But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down
And the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, Rita, lay down
Your broken body, it cannot weather The years your youth still longs to spend So go down graceful, sleep with the angels And wake up whole again
‘Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line A fallen world took your life
But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down
Slower passing are the hours To tell this tale that takes its time But the finest moment, no man can measure Is to look your Savior in the eyes
So take her tender to Your table Take her from this killing floor To taste the water that is forever Let her be thirsty no more
It was not her time; that's a useless line A fallen world took her life
But the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, sister, lay down
And the God that sometimes can't be found Will wrap Himself around you So lay down, Rita, lay down
