The Byrds - Lay Down Your Weary Tune lyrics

rate me

Written by 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
