Time to Rest

Every secret is a station
Every whisper is a train
Every lover has a version
Of who really is to blame
Gather stones for my starvation
Sell my soul for a night of sleep
Serve me a bottle of your patience
One more time, would you please
Take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
Won’t you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
Lost my vision in a moment
Left my candle in the rain
'Til every promise I have spoken
Will never be the same
Gather stones for my starvation
Sell my soul for a night of sleep
Serve me a bottle of your patience
One more time, would you please
Take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
Won’t you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
And if Mercy comes to meet me
Will she offer up her hand?
I still see Justice in the shadows
Making me a better man
Won’t you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
Won’t you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It’s time to rest
