Lay Down Your Weary Tune

Lay down your weary tune, lay down

The ocean wild like an organ played

The branches bare like a banjo monk
No voice can hope to hum
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
No voice can hope to hum
Lay down your weary tune, lay down

I knew the night had gone
To the winds that listened the best
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings

Struck by the sounds before the sun
Against the drums of dawn
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
Lay down the song you strum
Lay down the song you strum
The seaweed wove and strands
The last of leaves fell from the trees
Against the rocks and sands
Lay down the song you strum
And clung to a new love's breast
No voice can hope to hum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
