Rest In Peace Songtext

von Al Stewart

Met a man from the city
Who said he'd spent his life
In pursuit of some elusive golden fleece
One day he just washed up on the shores of his regrets
May his soul rest in peace

Met a man from the shadows
Who said he'd spent his time
Constantly in search of some release
Showed me his credentials, tattooed into his arm
May his soul rest in peace

I've been waiting, so long for you
Who knows the reasons you do what you do
I've been waiting, so long to find
Someone like you who can bring peace of mind

Met a woman who had locked herself
Inside an ivory tower
Waiting for those perfect opportunities
The days they just grew longer, there was no magic hour
May her soul rest in peace

Oh I've been waiting, so long for you
Who knows the reasons you do what you do
I've been waiting, so long to find
Someone like you who can bring peace of mind

I will lay me down beside you now
Let the evening take us
On a journey through the hinterland of dreams
If perchance we linger there
Never more to wake
May our souls rest in peace

May our souls rest in peace
