Lay Down Your Sorrows
Embrace the Light: Lay Down Your Sorrows with Johnny Winter
Lyrics
Lay down your sorrows,
Encouraging someone to let go of their sorrows.
Let me carry them awhile
Offering support by carrying their sorrows for a while.
Cast off your sadness,
Urging to discard feelings of sadness or grief.
And I'll lend you a smile
Promising to bring happiness or joy.
You've traveled such a long way
Acknowledging the long journey of seeking enlightenment or happiness.
Searchin' for the light
Continuing the search for positivity or illumination.
Lay down your sorrows
Reiterating the need to release sorrows.
And lay with me tonight
Inviting to spend the night together after letting go of sorrows.
Come on now
Encouraging action to remove burdensome troubles.
Take off your troubles,
Implying the prolonged endurance of troubles.
You've been wearing them too long
Offering companionship and comfort through music.
Sit down beside me,
Recognizing someone's struggles.
And I'll find you a song
Noting the difficulty faced by the individual.
You're havin' such a hard time
Commenting on the challenging circumstances.
I said it don't seem right
Expressing the inappropriateness of the situation.
Lay down your sorrows
Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.
And lay with me tonight
Reiterating the invitation to spend the night together.
Come on and stay with me tonight
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Urging to spend the night together.
Come on and stay with me tonight
Come on and lay with me tonight
Emphasizing the invitation to spend the night together.
You know it don't seem easy
Highlighting the difficulty of experiencing emotions intensely.
Feelin' things the way you do
Noting the challenging nature of feeling deeply.
When so many,
Observing the lack of empathy in many individuals.
They don't feel at all
Highlighting the emotional disconnect in the world.
When the world is full of blindness,
Commenting on the prevalence of ignorance.
You got to, you got to give yourself a little kindness
Encouraging self-compassion amidst a callous world.
You've got to reach out,
Advising to seek support or comfort.
Reach out for a hand to hold
Encouraging reaching out for assistance.
You've got to take some rest,
Advocating for taking a break to rejuvenate.
And restore your soul
Encouraging self-care for inner replenishment.
And lay down your sorrows
Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.
Lay down your sorrows
You're havin' such a hard time
Reiterating the observation of someone's tough situation.
I said it don't seem right
Reiterating the inappropriateness of the circumstance.
Lay down your sorrows
Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.
Come on lay down your sorrows
Encouraging again to release sorrows.
Lay down your sorrows and lay with me
Reiterating the invitation to spend the night together after letting go of sorrows.
Tonight..........
Come on and lay with me tonight
Repeating the invitation to spend the night together.
Oh......
Yeah come on and lay with me
Encouraging to spend the night together.
Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me
Repeating the encouragement to spend the night together.
Come on, come on and lay with me tonight........
Final insistence on spending the night together.
