No voice can hold to hum

Struck by the sounds before the sun

I knew the night had gone

The morning breeze like
G
D

Against the drums of dawn,
G
D
G
Lay down, lay down the song
Em

And rest yourself neath

The ocean wild like

The seaweed wove its strands

The crashing waves like

Against the rocks and sands

I stood unwound beneath the sky

The branches bear like a banjo play

I gazed down in the river's mirror
G

And watched its winding strum
C

The wa ter smooth ran like a hymn
G
D
C
And like a heart it hummed
G

Lay down your weary tune,
Em

you strum
C
G
And rest yourself,
G
D
G
C

No voice can hold to hum you
How did you like the song?
