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

In the Course of Sonic Persistence, seldom do songs slight even & wise. We got a thing here named in mercy, and firmly breached by the sidewinding fair of consequentiality. Designated as it is, and, truly, an elemental pattern of strum from BOBBY D, this smile farm well arcs THIS ‘ERE thumb way up prizewise. Lyrics up and offer a direct farewell to You, and to the instrument, itself. Suggested quite splendidly: asking not we, to leave him, BUT, for HE, Our Servant Of Song, for permission to Lay Down & D-part. Granted, he buggers off and leaves us with this most wonderful tune. . . I willingly give the song a total of 14 Bobby Dylan Bananas.
