Lyrics
[Chorus] Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum [Verse 1] Struck by the sounds before the sun I knew the night had gone The morning breeze like a bugle blew Against the drums of dawn [Chorus] Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum [Verse 2] The ocean wild like an organ played The seaweed's wove its strands The crashing waves like cymbals clashed Against the rocks and sands [Chorus] Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum [Verse 3] I stood unwound beneath the skies And clouds unbound by laws The crying rain like a trumpet sang And asked for no applause [Chorus] Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum [Verse 4] The last of leaves fell from the trees And clung to a new love's breast The branches bare like a banjo moaned To the winds that listened the best [Verse 5] I gaze down into the river's mirror And watched its winding strum The water smooth ran like a hymn And like a harp did hum [Chorus] Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum
