Bob Dylan - Lay Down Your Weary Tune Lyrics
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,Lay down the song you strum,And rest yourself neath the strength of stringsNo voice can hope to hum.Struck by the sounds before the sun,I knew the night had gone.The morning breeze like a bugle blewAgainst the drums of dawn.Lay down your weary tune, lay down,Lay down the song you strum,And rest yourself neath the strength of stringsNo voice can hope to hum.The ocean wild like an organ played,The seaweeds wove its strands.The crashin waves like cymbals clashedAgainst the rocks and sands.Lay down your weary tune, lay down,Lay down the song you strum,And rest yourself neath the strength of stringsNo voice can hope to hum.I stood unwound beneath the skiesAnd clouds unbound by laws.The cryin rain like a trumpet sangAnd asked for no applause.Lay down your weary tune, lay down,Lay down the song you strum,And rest yourself neath the strength of stringsNo voice can hope to hum.The last of leaves fell from the treesAnd clung to a new loves breast.The branches bare like a banjo playedTo the winds that listened best.I gazed down in the rivers mirrorAnd watched its winding strum.The water smooth ran like a hymnAnd 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 stringsNo voice can hope to hum.
