Well down your weary tune Well down

Well 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 drums of dawn

Well down your weary tune Well down

Well 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 pWelled

The seaweed's wove it's strands

The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed

Against the rocks and sands

Well down your weary tune Well down

Well 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 cryin' rain like a trumpet sang

And asked for no applause

Well down your weary tune Well down

Well 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 pWelled

To the winds that listened best

Well down your weary tune Well down

Well down the song you strum

And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings

No voice can hope to hum

I gazed down in the river's mirror

And watched it's winding strum

The water smooth ran like a hymn

And like a harp did hum

Well down your weary tune Well down

Well down the song you strum

And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings

No voice can hope to hum

Well Down Your Weary Tune - Billy Bragg
