This last poem, I want
to read, and then I'd

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:08.550 align:middle line:84%
like to ask Stephen
Strom to come and say

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:13.080 align:middle line:84%
a few words about
the photographs.

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.930 align:middle line:84%
This is called "Lay
Me Down, Sweet Love."

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:20.970 align:middle line:84%
"Lay me down, sweet
love, as we struggle

00:00:20.970 --> 00:00:24.750 align:middle line:84%
to hold back the tick tock
of night, the sun pushing us

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:28.770 align:middle line:84%
in degrees toward
early twilight dawn.

00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:31.980 align:middle line:84%
Lay me down, sweet
love, in the broken core

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:35.970 align:middle line:84%
of goodbyes, this raw
land, you resting your arms

00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:39.090 align:middle line:84%
on my car window,
me remembering you

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:43.620 align:middle line:84%
that way just before we
surrender the spent night.

00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:48.120 align:middle line:84%
Lay me down, sweet love, to
lose myself in your eyes again,

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:51.180 align:middle line:84%
and I pretend that I
heard your every word.

00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:53.160 align:middle line:90%
Let us, this last tango--

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:55.290 align:middle line:90%
this last blue song--

00:00:55.290 --> 00:01:00.600 align:middle line:84%
sustain our dreams and hold the
stars above our sleeping heads

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.769 align:middle line:84%
and unite our far away love
in the hands of the ocean.

00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:07.680 align:middle line:84%
I'm with you, and
you're with me.

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.080 align:middle line:90%
Lay me down, sweet love."

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:10.680 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.
