[Verse 1]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
Stay, lady, stay
Heaven's dust fills our head

[Chorus]
Whatever colors have you in your mind
I show them all to you and you see them shine

[Verse 2]
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man a while
Until the break of day
Then you're going to see him smile

[Chorus]
Clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing he's ever seen

[Post-Chorus]
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing over you?
[Verse 3]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
We're going to build the whole night ahead

[Chorus]
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you all night

[Outro]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay, lady, lay
Lay, lady, lay
Lay, lady, lay
Lay, lady, lay
