Bob Dylan - Lay Down Your Weary Tune (Studio Outtake - 1963).

In 1986 I wasn't so into Bob Dylan (anymore). To be honest, I had turned off a bit after Street Legal (1978). I only got to know the period 1979-1989 much later. But in 1986 I occasionally borrowed records from the library. And one of these records was the 5 LP box set 'Biograph'. Even though I was working on completely different music at the time, I was immediately captivated by Biograph. This album has left a great impression on me. And that was not due to the known work, but rather the unknown work. The compiler of this album did a very good job by adding a number of previously unreleased songs. I couldn't get enough of it and to this day these songs are among my favorite Dylan songs. I would like to give these songs some more attention. Tonight the first one. Enjoy!

LYRICS

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 drum 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 seaweed wove its strands
The crashing waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and the sand
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 crying 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 moan
To the winds that listen the 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
