Alison Krauss - Lay My Burden Down Lyrics
Gonna lay my burden downGonna lay my body in the groundCold clay against my skinBut I don't care at allCan't seem to find my piece of mindSo with the earth I'll lay entwinedSix feet undergroundMy feet are warm and dryWhen I get to the other sideI'll put your picture way up highBut I'm not coming back to youIt's just too farIf I was cast off on the seaWould you com and look for meOr would you just let me sinkBeneath the waves so blueWhat if I had learned to flyFly all night till day drew nighTouch down upon a branch andScan the crowd for youWhen I touch my feet on the landI'll kiss your lips and take you inBut you know I'm not here to stayIt's just too farDarling can't you hear me cryMy bones are brokeMy tongue is tiedThe moon is swaying back and forthAgainst the navy skyIs all I can seeMy body is trembling on my kneesJust have a little mercy on meRun away and hideWhen I sleep the angels singBut I cannot hear a thingEyes closeDreaming of better days gone byWhen I wake the trumpets playAnd I'm standing at the gatesFall down and joyI know my race has just been wonWhen I was young my momma would sayWell live is hard, but that's okIf you can make it through the dayIt's not that farNo, it's not that far
