Simmerdown, simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down
Simmerdown, simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down

When you can't wake up
When you can't sleep
You've grown tired
Drifting downstream

Simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down
Simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down

Children singing from your hymnals
Lay your head down
Father singing swing low, swing low
Lay your head down

You can leave the door ajar
In the morning I'll be there

Fast asleep by your side
Breathing deep

Simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down
Simmerdown, simmerdown, simmerdown
Simmerdown, lay your head down

Simmerdown, lay your head down
Lay your head
Simmerdown, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head
Down
