Lay Down Your Weary Tune Lyrics - Biograph - 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 seaweeds wove its strands 

The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed 

Against the rocks and the 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 moaned 

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
