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 |
