Lay My Burden Down Lyrics - Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss

Gonna lay my burden down 

Gonna lay my body in the ground 

Cold clay against my skin 

But I don't care at all 

Can't seem to find my piece of mind 

So with the earth I'll lay entwined 

Six feet underground 

My feet are warm and dry 

When I get to the other side 

I'll put your picture way up high 

But I'm not coming back to you 

It's just too far 

If I was cast off on the sea 

Would you com and look for me 

Or would you just let me sink 

Beneath the waves so blue 

What if I had learned to fly 

Fly all night till day drew nigh 

Touch down upon a branch and 

Scan the crowd for you 

When I touch my feet on the land 

I'll kiss your lips and take you in 

But you know I'm not here to stay 

It's just too far 

Darling can't you hear me cry 

My bones are broke 

My tongue is tied 

The moon is swaying back and forth 

Against the navy sky 

Is all I can see 

My body is trembling on my knees 

Just have a little mercy on me 

Run away and hide 

When I sleep the angels sing 

But I cannot hear a thing 

Eyes close 

Dreaming of better days gone by 

When I wake the trumpets play 

And I'm standing at the gates 

Fall down and joy 

I know my race has just been won 

When I was young my momma would say 

Well live is hard, but that's OK 

If you can make it through the day 

It's not that far 

No, it's not that far
