lay down the song you strum

lay down, lay down, your weary tune
lay down the song you strum
and rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
no voice can hope to hum

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

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

the ocean wild like an organ played
the seaweed wove its strands
the crashing waves like cymbals clashed
against the rocks and the sands

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

i stood unwound beneath the sky
and clouds unbound by laws
the cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
and asked for no applause

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

the last of leaves fell from the trees
and clung to a new love's breast
the branches bare like a banjo moan
hear the winds that listen the best
i gazed down into the river's mirror
and watched its winding strum
the water smooth, ran like a hymn
and like a harp did hum

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

- "lay down your weary tune"
