Composed to honour Tracey's little grandson, who nearly didn't make it..

lyrics

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Bob and Leonard were singing
About when the deal goes down
Maybe there's too much time spent
Groomin' that precious frown

When you're not really ready
But you wanna hang around
Lay your burden down boys
Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

A young lad born to suffer
Beauty with an ugly face
A stumble, a stutter
Or a life devoid of grace

A time to sit and ponder
In the middle of the human race
Lay your burden down friend
Chase it from this place

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Staring upon the Mekong
At dusk in Vientienne
Looking upon the Yukon
It's not where but when

A sunny day and sun jewels
Along the edge of the fen
Lay your burden down
Let your burden end

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down
When the sun sets on the river
Lay your burden down
