Home for a Rest - Signal Hill

We arrived in December and London was cold So we stayed in the bars along Charring cross road We never saw nothing but brass taps and oak Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best I've been gone for a month, I been drunk since I left These so called vacations won't soon be my death I'm so sick of the drink, I need home for a rest Easton station the train journeyed north And in the buffet car we lurched back and forth Passed odd crooked dykes and through Yorkshire's green field We where flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled Chorus By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet She teased us and flirt as the pubs all closed down Then walk us on home and deny us a round Chorus The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb And the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon And don't lift up my head till the twelve bells of noon Chorus out

I know your life on earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain So go rest high on that mountain 'Cause son, your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered 'round your grave to grieve Wish I could see the angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing So go rest high on that mountain 'Cause son, your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see So go rest high on that mountain 'Cause son, your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Are you tired and troubled? Weighed down by a heavy load? Praying for change, searching for faith Waiting on a miracle Are you drowning in questions? Can't believe where the road has lead There's one who knows, the heavy you hold And He says "Come to me All who are weary and heavy burdened All who are hurting Come to me I'll be your shelter My yoke is easy, my load is light And you can find rest for your soul Rest for your soul" There's a peace that can hold you And a power greater than your own When you feel so small, back to the wall That's when Jesus calls "Come to me All who are weary and heavy burdened All who are hurting Come to me I'll be your shelter My yoke is easy, my load is light And you can find rest for your soul Rest for your soul" You were never meant to carry that weight alone You were never meant to carry it on your own Come to the cross, lay it at the feet of Jesus Come to the cross, lay it at the feet of Jesus There is one who knows, the heavy you hold And He says "Come to me All who are weary and heavy burdened All who are hurting (hurting) Come to me (come) I'll be your shelter (I'll be your shelter) My yoke is easy (ooh) My load is light (my load is light) And you can find rest for your soul (rest for your soul) Rest for your soul" (rest) "Rest for your soul (rest for your soul) Rest for your soul And you can find rest"
