Rest These Weary Bones
(PRS/MCPS ©Dave Gibb 2019)


I'm shattered and tired and crying with pain
Thoughts of the day flashing through my brain
I just need somewhere I can be alone
Somewhere I can lay my head
And get used to the fact that I'm not yet dead
Somewhere I can rest these weary bones

I'll wrap myself in my dream and let it carry me away
Shrouded by the sweet black night, hidden from the day
I'll sleep the sleep of the righteous one just like the old folk say
And let the nightmare of the day slowly slip away

I pray this world will let me be
Leave me in peace - take pity on me
All I want in life just now is to be back home
To curl up tight in the family bed
Anywhere I can lay my head
Just somewhere I can rest these weary bones

I'll wrap myself in my dream and let it carry me away
Shrouded by the sweet black night, hidden from the day
I'll sleep the sleep of the righteous one just like the old folk say
And let the nightmare of the day slowly slip away
