Lay Down Your Weary Tune Lyrics
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to humStruck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawnLay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to humThe ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sandsLay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to humThe last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the bestLay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
