about

A call to rest, from all the wildness of the world and especially of the mind, to find a cradle of quietness, guided by the senses.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Lover, remind me how to rest
As if there were nothing needed doing
As if there were nowhere else
Only a bed, balanced on time
As on a wave crest, only just born
And as yet, unaware of endings
Still as a feather on a calm day falling

Let your pulse in an arm laid across
Remind me of the pace the body daily begs
Let your breath in a body laid beside
Remind me how to loose my mind

Mind sweeper, sweep for me
So I may find a clean path between the sheets
Mind sweeper, sweep for me
So I may find a clean path between the sheets
And there, lay awhile, only breathing
Still as a feather on a calm day falling

Lover, remind me how to rest
As if there were nothing needed doing
As if there were nowhere else
Only a bed, balanced on time
As on a wave crest, only just born
And as yet, unaware of endings

Still as a feather on a calm day falling
