| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you
strum,
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to
hum.
Struck 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 'neath the strength of
strings
No voice can hope to hum.
The ocean wild like an organ played,
The
seaweed's 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 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum.
I stood unwound
beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws.
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
And
asked for no applause.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down,
Lay down the song you
strum,
And rest yourself 'neath 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.
I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum.
The
water smooth ran like a hymn
And 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
strings
No voice can hope to hum |
