Weary 疲惫／倦怠（较为书面）

Lay your weary head to rest 

Lyrics

Carry on My Wayward Son

Carry on my wayward son

For there’ll be peace when you are done. 

Lay your weary head to rest, 

Now don’t you cry no more. 

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,

Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion 

I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high. 

Masquerading as a man with a reason, 

My charade is the even of the season.

And if I claim to be a wise man

It surely means that I don’t know. 

Carry on my wayward son

For there’ll be peace when you are done. 

Lay your weary head to rest, 

Now don’t you cry no more.
