| [00:01.07] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, |
| [00:06.06] |
Lay down the song you strum, |
| [00:09.61] |
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings |
| [00:14.14] |
No voice can hope to hum. |
| [00:18.94] |
Struck by the sounds before the sun, |
| [00:24.07] |
I knew the night had gone. |
| [00:27.83] |
The morning breeze like a bugle blew |
| [00:32.42] |
Against the drums of dawn. |
| [00:36.42] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, |
| [00:40.48] |
Lay down the song you strum, |
| [00:45.21] |
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings |
| [00:49.63] |
No voice can hope to hum. |
| [00:57.87] |
The ocean wild like an organ played, |
| [01:02.68] |
The seaweed's wove its strands. |
| [01:06.39] |
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed |
| [01:10.70] |
Against the rocks and sands. |
| [01:15.93] |
I stood unwound beneath the skies |
| [01:19.87] |
And clouds unbound by laws. |
| [01:23.60] |
The crying rain like a trumpet sang |
| [01:27.98] |
And asked for no applause. |
| [01:31.92] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, |
| [01:35.43] |
Lay down the song you strum, |
| [01:40.83] |
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings |
| [01:45.17] |
No voice can hope to hum. |
| [02:10.35] |
The last of leaves fell from the trees |
| [02:15.83] |
And clung to a new love's breast. |
| [02:19.36] |
The branches bare like a banjo played |
| [02:23.61] |
To the winds that listened best. |
| [02:27.47] |
I gazed down in the river's mirror |
| [02:32.58] |
And watched its winding strum. |
| [02:36.26] |
The water smooth ran like a hymn |
| [02:40.60] |
And like a harp did hum. |
| [02:46.44] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, |
| [02:49.55] |
Lay down the song you strum, |
| [02:53.28] |
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings |
| [02:57.92] |
No voice can hope to hum. |
| [03:01.67] |
Lay down your weary tune, lay down, |
| [03:06.61] |
Lay down the song you strum, |
| [03:10.55] |
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings |
| [03:15.23] |
No voice can hope to hum. |
