Low Lays The Devil Lyrics - The Veils

[Verse 1] 

Quiet as that secret you keep 

Still in your heart as you sleep 

Old as the lay of the land 

Cold as all matters at hand 

Long as the river of song 

Mad as the world it moves on 

[Chorus] 

High as the heavenly sea 

Low lays the devil in me 

High as the heavenly sea 

Low lays the devil in me 

[Verse 2] 

Straight as the wood of the cross 

Wild as all the love that you lost 

As sure as inside the egg lays the yolk 

I'm standing outside the gates of hell 

And I'll keep singing 'til I croak (oh baby!) 

[Chorus] 

High as the heavenly sea 

Low lays the devil in me 

High as the heavenly sea 

Low lays the devil in me 

[Bridge] 

Come lay your head on my lap 

And let your hair fall back 

You've got to live with yourself 

So baby don't look back 

Come lay your head on my lap 

And let your hair fall back 

You've got to live with yourself 

So baby don't look back (Don't look back!) 

[Chorus] 

High as the heavenly sea 

Low lays the devil in me 

(X4)
