"Rest" lyrics
ANOHNI and the Johnsons Lyrics
Rest like the soul of a diamond
Rest like a woman in a field of wheat
Rest and she'll come home to you
She'll come home to you
Rest like the soft light of Mercury
Rest like your hunger is the victory
It's a longing laughing day
It's a longing laughing day
I wait for you to come home
Playing deep within your eyes
Sleeping deep, it feels so real
Feels so real
Now all my life I wait for you
I wait for you to come on home
For to go to sleep
Sleep inside your eyes
Like a fire of tenderness
Like the West waits for the North
Like my guilt waits for reprieve
Like my guilt waits for reprieve
Rest like a stone waits for the sun
Waiting at the bottom of the ocean
Like a jewel waits for the sand
Like a jewel waits for the sand
Music for the children
We can't teach you how to crawl
Demon dancing's all I know
Demon dancing's all I know
Rest your soul, rest your soul
Rest your soul, rest your soul
Rest like the enemy of all that breathes
Rest like the enemy of all that sees
In the poison ocean blue
She'll come home to you
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come, come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
Rest like a woman in a field of wheat
Rest and she'll come home to you
She'll come home to you
Rest like the soft light of Mercury
Rest like your hunger is the victory
It's a longing laughing day
It's a longing laughing day
I wait for you to come home
Playing deep within your eyes
Sleeping deep, it feels so real
Feels so real
Now all my life I wait for you
I wait for you to come on home
For to go to sleep
Sleep inside your eyes
Like a fire of tenderness
Like the West waits for the North
Like my guilt waits for reprieve
Like my guilt waits for reprieve
Rest like a stone waits for the sun
Waiting at the bottom of the ocean
Like a jewel waits for the sand
Like a jewel waits for the sand
Music for the children
We can't teach you how to crawl
Demon dancing's all I know
Demon dancing's all I know
Rest your soul, rest your soul
Rest your soul, rest your soul
Rest like the enemy of all that breathes
Rest like the enemy of all that sees
In the poison ocean blue
She'll come home to you
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come, come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
