Bob Dylan |
|
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 hum |
|
Sruck 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 beneath the strength of strings |
|
No voice can hope to hum |
|
The ocean wild like an organ played |
|
The seaweed wove its strands |
|
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed |
|
Against the rocks and sands |
|
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 hum |
|
The last of leaves fell from the trees |
|
And clung to a new love's breast |
|
The branches bare like a banjo played |
|
To the winds that listened best |
|
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 hum |
