Darling, won't you rest your weary eyes?
There's no use in waiting for sunrise
If the stars begin to dim
And if the earth ceases to spin
No matter where I am or where I've been
A person needs a place to rest her head
A place to put her burdens down to rest
I think I'll join the working class
I just want my work to last
Tell me now, is that too much to ask?
Sometime's there ain't no right; there ain't no wrong
There ain't a new way to put it in a song
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom.
I think I've known it all along
Sometimes there ain't no right; there ain't no wrong
A flower for the gaze you shared with me
A stone for all our shitty memories
A petal here, a petal there
A petal for your lovely hair
A penance for the things I could not share
Darling, won't you rest your weary eyes?
There's no use in waiting for sunrise
If the stars begin to dim
And if the earth ceases to spin
No matter where I am or where I've been
