Rest - Leif Vollebekk

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
