Lyrics - Anywhere I Lay My Head My head is spinning round My heart is in my shoes I went and set the Thames on fire Now I must come back down She's laughing in her sleeve at me I can feel it in my bones But anywhere I'm gonna Lay my head, boys I'm will call my home Well I see that The world is upside down My pockets were filled up with gold Now the clouds have covered o'er And the wind is blowing cold I don't need anybody Because I learned to be alone And anywhere I lay my head, boys I will call my home
