Krauss, Alison - Lay My Burden Down Lyrics
Gonna lay my burden down
Lay my body in the ground
Cold clay against my skin
But I don't care at all
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Six feet underground
My feet are warm and dry
When I get to the other side
I'll put your picture way up high
But I'm not coming back to you
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue
What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew night
Perch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you
When I touch my feet on the land
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand
But you know I'm not here to stay
It's just too far
Darling can't you hear me cry
My bones are broke
My tongue is tied
The moon is swaying back and forth
Against the navy sky
Is all that I can see
My body's trembling on my knees
Just have a little mercy on me
Run away and hide
When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of the better days gone by
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won
When I was young my mom would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far

Heard this song during the closing credits of the movie "Get Low" starring Robert Duvall and an ALL STAR cast. Funny, songs like this 20 years ago would get me to tapping my toe to the beat and the lyrics would be sung and never really illicit much of a response. Now staring 61 down the barrel the movie and the lyrics mean a lot more to me. I'm going to go cry a little more. F@&king getting old is something.
MY OPENING FAREWELL
Alison Krauss (Songwriter: Jackson Browne)
My love stands before the open window
Staring so far away
He can almost feel the southern wind blow
Almost touching my restless days
He turns from the window to me
Sad smile his apology
Sad eyes reaching for the door
Daylight loses to another evening
And still he spares me the word goodbye
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry
Suddenly it's so hard to find
The words that would help me speak my troubled mind
He's offering these to me as if to be kind:
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a world, you know
And there is a way to go
And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
A child's drawing is on the table
A woman's silk lying on the floor
And he would keep me here if I were able
And lock us safe behind this open door
But suddenly it's so clear to me
I've asked him to see what he may never see
Now his kind words find their way back to me
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a world, you know
And there is a way to go
And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
Songwriter: Jackson Browne

Allison , I can still see you and your pet chicken walking down the sidewalk on hill street. Your neighbor across the street. You have the voice of an angel. Leon
Gonna lay my burden down
Lay my body in the ground
Cold clay against my skin
But I don't care at all
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Six feet underground
My feet are warm and dry
When I get to the other side
I'll put your picture way up high
But I'm not coming back to you
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue
What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Touch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you
When I touch my feet on the land
I'll kiss your lips and take you in
But you know I'm not here to stay
It's just too far
Darling can't you hear me cry
My bones are broke
My tongue is tied
The moon is swaying back and forth
Against the navy sky
Is all I can see
My body is trembling on my knees
Just have a little mercy on me
Run away and hide
When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of the better days gone by
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won
When I was young my momma would say
Well life is hard, but that's O.K.
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
Stevie who?
Sweet song and sweet voice.
Closing song for the HIT movie Get Low.
Simply gorgeous..and beautiful song 😍
Please play this at my celebration of life❤️
Why couldn't she go natural with her looks
Gonna lay my burden down
Lay my body in the ground
Cold clay against my skin
But I don't care at all
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Six feet underground
My feet are warm and dry
When I get to the other side
I'll put your picture way up high
But I'm not coming back to you
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me

If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
Tipsy a little
Her voice is perfect in those minor keys
Vocal perfection...so effortless and pure!!
Gonna lay my burden down

She sings like a angel. Has only gotten better thru the many years I have listen to her. 🧚♀️💫

From the Movie "Get Low". If you havnt seen it...go rent it or buy it. Its an offbeat independent film with Robert Duvall, sissy Spacek and Bill Murray and you are going to love it. This song is the closing song from that film. I highly recommend it.
Lets get right to it.

They dont even know it.

Just making a simple comment. Did you guys see their skulls wiggle? I saw it twice. Angels...I tell you they are Angels.
In their Angelic bodies they fly with angelic weapons on fire protecting us from evil darkness.
Angels. These are Angels who God have let on Earth to play and protect.
Wow you guys have worked so hard to make it that smooth. Love AK's voice love to see you in the Uk
What a great band, the beautiful voice of Alison and the great guitar playing, in particular Gerry Douglas. What happened in the introduction, Dan's head went into spasms?
what a voice ! love it!
Lay Lady Lay
magical.
Love her!!!
I love your band. Alison Krauss 😊
Heavenly xo
What would david letterman dew,,, then ask what would jesus do,,, whatever that is don't do it,,,, he's dead ,,, he chose poorly,,, do,,, just the oppisite,,, what would dave do
My dog of 13 years just died. This is bringing me a little comfort. Great song.
When I was learning English this song was on my ears. I felt in love with it so fast… not because of the lyrics (that I did not understand at that time) but the good music. Anyway an American friend helped me to understand the subtle meaning. Now I am able to express my gratitude directly to her. This music makes what Ms Krauss is singing to us about a better world through music in order to become us into a better human being citizen. She has the skill to raise that goal for everyone. Thanks to your band for making such as great performance with such as subtle accuracy. God bless you.

Incredibly perfect voice.
So pretty she is. Great musicians and sound wonderful.
To hear the true words makes me sad. Lost from a nicer place. To the situation now. Its sad.

A sample of the Angel's music that awaits Christ's children!!
Placating.....nice try
LOVE HER

Oh my goodness she looks like a plastic surgery nightmare clown... she would be more beautiful if she would have just aged naturally
It is almost unfair to have so much incredible talent on stage together in this one group of musicians. They are the best of the best.
Alison is just as beautiful as ever. We saw her at the Chautauqua Institute over the weekend.
Alison Krauss Never Gets Old!
Well obviously Dave Letterman is an Alison Krauss fan too!
PHEW!!!!.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can never understand what America saw in Letterman, bumbling person of very little wit and could not listen to any one but himself.
Guessing this was early 1990's by the "dialing up on the WWW" comment.
so. beautiful.
Yes , an angel is singing on Earth
I use to tell my son that she has a voice straight from Heaven. A blessing we all can enjoy. thanks,,,,,
your so beautiful, please be content. drunk charlie, charlotte NC.
Happiness for the One I love
Nice song
Wish she was my girl
Sp enjoy Alison Kraus and Union station...she has won so many Grammys a d all... I don't know if you all are aware but she and Robert Plant did a phenomenal album together. Just a few years ago. His rusty voice & her smooth voice was incredible.
Lovely...... in so many subtle ways.
This woman is an amazing Christian person with a beautiful heart and amazing voice. Her and her band are absolutely amazing. All the other women in nowadays so-called country music and gospel music need to sit in the audience and listen to this Angelic voice.
this band brings a little heaven down to earth
GREAT ARTIST
Alison I love you and your music god love ya Paul p Birmingham England x x 🔯❤👍☺
