There's a still in the street outside your window
Your keeping secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not do no harm
I promise ya, babe, I won't do ya no harm
And we're caught within the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin' for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Watching you dress as you turn down the lights
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came a-pouring down
Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah, they're handing it out
And we're caught within the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin' for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fiery arrows drew their beat in vain
And when the hardest part is over, we'll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear
The boundaries of our fear
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

A song to his wife about the sanctuary she creates in their lives; because of her he has the strength to weather the storms of his rock star life. She defends and renews him from all the bad stuff.
