"Rest" lyrics

For years I've been working and traveling alone
I eat out in restaurants where men wear cologne
Recognized as a stranger every place that I went
Sometimes I just sometimes I just close my eyes
And begin my descent

I'll swim in the ocean when the water is high
And I'll find your bracelet; I just have to try
And the sky is so open and the wind is heading south
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna close my eyes
And put my hand on my mouth

One time in a castle with turrets aglow
I cast incantations so carnations will grow
And I heard you were worried from a shell by the sea
Sometimes I just I just close my eyes
So you don't worry about me

When you're lost in the meadows you just have to stand
And I looked for the farmhouse, it was covered in sand
And the fire of the moonlight made everything white
I just had to close my eyes
And dream it one night

In the classroom the children gather their hands
They're dancing to some chanson from some ancient land
And they're spinning in circles and the spirits they weep
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna close my eyes
Rest is as good as sleep
