Time to Rest Lyrics by The Steel Wheels

Over the Trees

2019

[Verse 1]
Every secret is a station
Every whisper is a train
Every lover has a version
Of who really is to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather stones for my starvation
Sell my soul for a night of sleep
Serve me a bottle of your patience
One more time, would you please
[Chorus]
Take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
Won't you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
[Verse 2]
Lost my vision in a moment
Left my candle in the rain
'Til every promise I have spoken
Will never be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather stones for my starvation
Sell my soul for a night of sleep
Serve me a bottle of your patience
One more time, would you please
[Chorus]
Take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
Won't you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
[Bridge]
And if Mercy comes to meet me
Will she offer up her hand?
I still see Justice in the shadows
Making me a better man
[Chorus]
Won't you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
Won't you take my lonely burden
Lay me down
It's time to rest
