| [00:00] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down |
| [00:09] |
Lay down the song you strum |
| [00:15] |
And rest yourself’ neath the strength of strings |
| [00:22] |
No voice can hope to hum |
| [00:30] |
Struck by the sounds before the sun |
| [00:38] |
I knew the night had gone |
| [00:44] |
The morning breeze like a bugle blew |
| [00:51] |
Against the drums of dawn |
| [00:58] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down |
| [01:06] |
Lay down the song you strum |
| [01:10] |
And rest yourself’ neath the strength of strings |
| [01:18] |
No voice can hope to hum |
| [01:25] |
The ocean wild like an organ played |
| [01:33] |
The seaweed’s wove its strands |
| [01:39] |
The crashin’ waves like cymbals clashed |
| [01:46] |
Against the rocks and sands |
| [01:53] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down |
| [02:02] |
Lay down the song you strum |
| [02:06] |
And rest yourself’ neath the strength of strings |
| [02:15] |
No voice can hope to hum |
| [02:21] |
I stood unwound beneath the skies |
| [02:28] |
And clouds unbound by laws |
| [02:34] |
The cryin’ rain like a trumpet sang |
| [02:41] |
And asked for no applause |
| [02:47] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down |
| [02:55] |
Lay down the song you strum |
| [02:58] |
And rest yourself’ neath the strength of strings |
| [03:06] |
No voice can hope to hum |
| [03:14] |
The last of leaves fell from the trees |
| [03:20] |
And clung to a new love’s breast |
| [03:26] |
The branches bare like a banjo played |
| [03:33] |
To the winds that listened best |
| [03:40] |
I gazed down in the river’s mirror |
| [03:47] |
And watched its winding strum |
| [03:53] |
The water smooth ran like a hymn |
| [04:01] |
And like a harp did hum |
| [04:06] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down |
| [04:14] |
Lay down the song you strum |
| [04:17] |
And rest yourself’ neath the strength of strings |
| [04:25] |
No voice can hope to hum |
