about

This ballad offers beautiful harmonies, plaintive guitar lines and a rolling piano solo. Lyrics offer a safe place for the world-weary to lay down and surrender.

lyrics

You bear your pain like a weapon
Your heart has crumbled from the weight
You sling cruel words like gilded arrows
You hide behind them where your safe

But sometimes you might grow weary
Surrender will whisper your name

Lay down, lay down your burden
Lay down, lay down your fear
When the load gets too heavy
And the road gets too long
Lay down with me

You’ve built a fine suit of armour
To protect you from trhe pain
But your defense has become your prison
And foolish pride keeps you in chains

So when your strong arms grow tired
And there’s nothing to do but let go
That’s when you

Lay down, lay down your burden
Lay down, lay down your fear
When the load gets too heavy
And the road gets too long
Lay down with me

When the load gets too heavy
And the road gets too long
We can slay all your demons
In my arms you’ll be strong
Lay down with me
