Lay Down Your Weary Tune-Mary Black

[00:01.07]Lay down your weary tune, lay down, [00:06.06]Lay down the song you strum, [00:09.61]And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings [00:14.14]No voice can hope to hum. [00:18.94]Struck by the sounds before the sun, [00:24.07]I knew the night had gone. [00:27.83]The morning breeze like a bugle blew [00:32.42]Against the drums of dawn. [00:36.42]Lay down your weary tune, lay down, [00:40.48]Lay down the song you strum, [00:45.21]And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings [00:49.63]No voice can hope to hum. [00:57.87]The ocean wild like an organ played, [01:02.68]The *******'s wove its strands. [01:06.39]The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed [01:10.70]Against the rocks and sands. [01:15.93]I stood unwound beneath the skies [01:19.87]And clouds unbound by laws. [01:23.60]The crying rain like a trumpet sang [01:27.98]And asked for no applause. [01:31.92]Lay down your weary tune, lay down, [01:35.43]Lay down the song you strum, [01:40.83]And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings [01:45.17]No voice can hope to hum. [02:10.35]The last of leaves fell from the trees [02:15.83]And clung to a new love's breast. [02:19.36]The branches bare like a banjo played [02:23.61]To the winds that listened best. [02:27.47]I gazed down in the river's mirror [02:32.58]And watched its winding strum. [02:36.26]The water smooth ran like a hymn [02:40.60]And like a harp did hum. [02:46.44]Lay down your weary tune, lay down, [02:49.55]Lay down the song you strum, [02:53.28]And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings [02:57.92]No voice can hope to hum. [03:01.67]Lay down your weary tune, lay down, [03:06.61]Lay down the song you strum, [03:10.55]And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings [03:15.23]No voice can hope to hum.
