Rest (Acoustic)

For years I've been working
 And travelling alone
 I eat out in restaurants
 Where men wear cologne
 Recognized as a stranger
 Every place that I went
 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's heading south
 Sometimes I just 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 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 close my eyes
 Rest is as good as sleep.
