Lay My Burden Down |
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 |
