Lay Down Your Weary Load

Lynda Wittig Dawson (Grandma Bea Music, BMI)
From the CD: On the Short Rows by The Kickin Grass Band

It’s 11pm, you’re driving home on the interstate with all the other late-night traffic from an exceptionally long day of doing whatever it is you do, trying to let the weight of the day off your shoulders by humming a little tune…

Lay down your weary load
Lay down your weary load
Waltz with me in the moonlight
And lay down your weary load

Your shoulders are so sore
From the weight you carried o’er
Lift me in your arms instead
And leave your burdens at the door

CHORUS

Your features are so strong
But your brow is tight and drawn
Take my hand so soft and fair
And we’ll dance until the dawn

CHORUS

Your steps are full of dread
Heavy from the path you tread
We’ll step lightly on the floor
And let the music fill your head

CHORUS
