A farewell song

Lay down, why don't you lay down your weary head?
I know you've been running a long time

Don't leave, Mama! Don't leave just yet
I've been waiting with this heart------------- of mine

You don't have to keep trudging down this dusty road
There's been punishment enough- you don't have to be alone

If you would just

Lay down, lay down your weary head...

I kept waiting and praying for the day you'd come home
I've been told this is all the love you have
But I don't know how---------- to let go

Mama!
Lay down, lay down your weary head
We've been running such a long time

Why must you leave, leave as the sun sets?
While I am waiting with this heart------- trapped in time

Mama!

Everyday I'm bleeding, and through these tears I'm pleading
But I hear His voice calling, calling me home

Mama!

Today my heart is breaking, but there will be no maintaining...
Farewell! Farewell! Farewell! Farewell!

Lay down, I will lay down my weary head
No more running from what I can't deny

I believe, believe the sun will rise yet
And there will be peace for this-----------
Heart of mine
