[Verse 1]
Let's pour oil on stormy waters
Calm the winds once more
Don't want hurricanes or lightning
Just want to lie here on the shore
So lay down a blanket
That we might watch the sky
Lay your dreams down gently by me

[Verse 2]
When I reach out I will touch
Pebbles and cool sand
Broken shells, cotton jeans
The fingers of your hand
Now tell me your story
I want to understand
Lay your dreams down gently by me

[Chorus]
Won't you lay your dreams down gently?
Lay your dreams by me
Lay your dreams down gently by me

[Verse 3]
Listen to the calling gulls
The murmur of the tide
Fortune spun the wheel for us
And luck was on our side
Stare into the endless blue
With eyes open so wide
Lay your dreams down gently by me
[Chorus]
Won't you lay your dreams down gently?
Lay your dreams by me
Lay your dreams down gently by me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Won't you lay your dreams down gently? (Lay them down)
Lay your dreams by me (Down by me)
Lay your dreams down gently by me
Won't you lay your dreams down gently? (Lay them down)
Lay your dreams by me (Down by me)
Lay your dreams down gently by me
Won't you lay your dreams down gently?
Lay your dreams by me
Lay your dreams down gently by me
