REST GENTLE (D A D G B E, capo 5)
Rest gentle as the sun shrinks.
Rest gentle as the moon gets eaten.
While you lay awake.
While you run from one end of the house to the other.
Rest gentle.
As specks of golden fall into the trees.
It gets in your eyes and on your skin.
As the world keeps going and cars drive past you.
Let them.
Like a leaf landing on the water.
Like a boat gently rolling on the waves.
Like an albatross smoothing off the ocean and melting into the horizon.
Rest gentle.
