| Oh if my wheel could take another turn
|
| And if my life replaced itself again,
|
| I wouldn’t want a single thing to change.
|
| Oh it’s been good, though it’s been strange.
|
| And if my dreams were willing to come true,
|
| Oh I would not even try to let them through.
|
| I’m sure there’s things I’ve missed, that others preached.
|
| The goals they reached, they weren’t for me.
|
| Rest in peace,
|
| Even though the worries seem to mount,
|
| Don’t let them count.
|
| Rest in peace.
|
| Throw all those smiles and paper miles away.
|
| You make willow pattern pictures through the rain.
|
| And swallow when your heart begins to breathe,
|
| Just like a bird, do what it please.
|
| 'Cause I ain’t gonna be here all that long
|
| And when I’m old I want to know I sung.
|
| If there’s a road ahead, I’ll jump right in.
|
| Just got to win, this is my hymn.
|
| Rest in peace,
|
| Even though your worries seem to mount,
|
| Don’t let them count.
|
| Rest in peace.
|
| Rest in peace.
