      *It’d be “lies” for present tense, but “lay” is correct for past.

        Yes. It didn’t sound past tense in my head, but that certainly fits.

        And no: “she lie” would be a colloquial present tense assuming that “she lay” was a similar colloquial conjugation of the verb “to lay” as commonly used in place of “to lie”.
