Time To Rest Your Weary Head

(album: Djesse Vol. 2 - 2019)

The time has come for me
To tell you all the things I really feel about you
Cuz lately time's been moving on
And every day we seem to grow a little older, too

The more I think of you
The less I seem to know the way I feel about you
And all I think is all I know
And all I know is all I want to think about is you

I used to think I knew it all
And that the love you gave was mine for keeping
I guess I cared too much for you back then
To see the simple magic of it all

I long to see the things we saw
When we were young and could not see so clearly
When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines
That I'd trace most sincerely back to you

And you'd say
Time to rest your weary head
Take your wings and go to bed
I know you want to know it all, my darling
And I'd say, sit me down and rock me
Rock me to sleep

I see the sparkle in your eyes
You say I'm beautiful and I believe you
And I will never feel more beautiful
Than when I'm wide awake beside you

I'll wander far and wide and wonder
How it feels to fall in love with someone
Without the need to show her everything I've learnt
About the world since you've been gone

And you'd say
Time to rest your weary head
Take your wings and go to bed
I know you want to show it all, my darling
And I'd say, sit me down and rock me
Rock me to sleep

There was a time, it seemed that time itself
Was free and would go on forever
Wanted to cling to it but now I see
Its fading is its greatest treasure, ooh

And you say
Time to rest my weary head
Take my wings and go to bed
I know you want to feel it all, my darling
And I'd say, sit me down and rock me
Oh, sit me down and rock me
Oh darling, sit me down and rock me
Rock me to sleep
