"Lay It Down" lyrics - THE EVERLY BROTHERS

Travellin' down our different roads
Tryin' hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom she denied
Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down

Hide in me, confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me should lay it down

So speak to me, be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down

Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from our self-made hell
Find a way to lay it down

Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurting 'cause I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down...
