songs by bama. This is a completely new version of a song I wrote in
1999, called "Lay Me Down". I re-worked it once before in 2003,
re-titled it "Last Waltz" and dedicated it to the memory of Kevin Smith.
Now I've recorded this new version of it, keeping my original lyrics,
but setting it to totally different music, so it's no longer a waltz at
all. Read about Kevin
Smith at the Wiki

A Warrior's Song
Formerly known as Last Waltz
A song for an unfinished fan fic
Prepare a Bed both narrow and deep,
where I and my True Love may sleep.
And when you lay me down
for to take my last rest...
lay her head upon my breast.
My eyes may never look into hers again,
nor her sweet warmth my arms enfold.
But if you are a friend,
then you'll lay her close...
to keep away the cold.
Chorus:
Don't bury me in my armor
when I have taken my very last breath.
Just lay me in a bed
in the arms of my lover.
The tie that binds is stronger than death.
So much stronger than death.
My eyes may never look into hers again.
Nor her sweet warmth my arms enfold.
But if you are a friend, then lay her close...
to keep her away from the cold.
Prepare a Bed both narrow and deep,
where I and my True Love may sleep.
And when you lay me down to take my last rest...
Lay her sweet head upon my breast.
Our love was stronger than death.
The tie that binds is stronger than death.
So much stronger than death.
The ties that bind us are stronger than death.
Love is strong, much stronger than death...
So much stronger than death.
