Lay Down Your Weary Tune

Lay down your weary tune, lay down

The morning breeze like a bugle blew
The ocean wild like an organ played
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
The sea weeds wove its strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo man

Lay down the song you strum
No voice can hope to hum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

Against the drums of dawn

Against the rocks and sands

Stuck by the sounds before the sun
Lay down the song you strum
No voice can hope to hum
The last of leaves fell from the trees
No voice can hope to hum
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
To the winds that listened best
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
Lay down the song you strum
I knew the night had gone
