"Lay A Burden On Me" lyrics

"Lay A Burden On Me"

Wake up one more morning in the sun
Fading dreams of lovers on the run
Turtle necks, and shells and sheets all filled with sand
Will not wash away all that dry blood on your hand

Take a load off, Annie, baby, listen to the band
Stay yearnin' for me

Ask some foggy mirror of a man
If he has some new exciting plan

You won't find your soul in words of smooth, sweet talkin' men
You can't wash your hands in someone's innocence again
Oh the trees are bloomin' for you, just around the bend
Lay a burden on me

Wake up one more morning in the sun
Fading dreams of lovers on the run
Oh, turtle necks, and shells and sheets all filled with sand
Will not wash away all of that dry blood on your hands

Take a load off, Annie, listen to the band
Stay yearnin' for me
