about
David Gunawardana: Acoustic Guitar, Vocal
lyrics
Rest now ye weary, come sit for a while
Leave your ports at the threshold and your sins where they lie
All that we ask for is a story or two
Whether truth or fable, we leave it to you
No need for names here - too common a thing
But a tale that's worth telling again and again
Will fetch you a fortune on a night cold as this,
The surrounding woodland all veiled in mist
Warriors on horseback or things of the deep
Speak of saints that move mountains and the taste of defeat
The love of a lover or the wind that is sown
Paint us men in darkness and heavens unknown
But Truth is far greater than legends of yore
‘Sooner see through the eyes of one who’s lived it before
You tell us your story, we will show you your end,
And for those behind you, a lesson therein
