Story Behind the Song
This song has had many guises but has been a good friend over the years. It started with a verse given to me by a teenage friend, discovered years.
Lyrics
Lay Your Troubles
I like to sit and watch the sea,
I like to think its just like me,
Just like my life that has no aim,
The tide rolls in then out again,
Lay your troubles in the sand.
Take your troubles, pack them neat,
Take a stroll down to the Beach,
See the fortress in your mind,
Foot steps melting in the morning tide,
Lay your troubles in the sand.
Rock me, soak me, thunder down and pour with me,
Roll me, stroke me, howling in the breeze,
Mmmm, still me, filling up the soul of me,
Lift me off my knees,
Life aint easy but life is sweet,
Living costs but life is free,
Write it careful, take your time,
Leave your letter by the water line
Lay your troubles in the sand.
