• Rest now my friends
    Lay down your heads
    Your day is done here
    Go now in peace
    Slip off with ease
    The sunset is near
    The night is at a close
    And yet we lie here still
    And your hands in mine feel cold
    Though I know you don't feel chilled
    And I ask if your afraid
    You shake your head to me
    But I know you're acting brave
    Rest now my love
    Lay down above
    Your day is done here
    Close up your eyes
    I'll whisper you sweet lies
    My voice is near
    The dawn is upon us
    I haven't moved from you
    I feel this crime is unjust
    And the cause is a ruse
    And I lay you down to sleep
    I hate myself for what's to come
    But I know I have to leave
    Rest now myself
    Young though you felt
    Your day is done here
    Go now to her
    Sleep now so sure
    The peace now is near.
