lyrics

The Rest (Bottle/Darke)

So to Resting Day
Light the candles for some horseplay
Could there be wisdom?
A kaleidoscope prism in our solar plexus, a bending of the light?

First you Wash me
Steam and Press
Sew and Mend me
Brew and Bless
Then you Churn me up
And Bake the earth
Now I’m drowsy ‘cause it all goes back to Shibboleth
It all goes back to Shibboleth
It all goes back

At the obelus
We encounter something breathless
The truth dawns slowly
Almost feels holy
Right about the juncture
where our skull bones tend to meet.

First you Wash me
Steam and Press
Sew and Mend me
Brew and Bless
Then you Churn me up
And Bake the earth
Now I’m drowsy ‘cause it all goes back to Shibboleth
It all goes back to Shibboleth
It all goes back

It’s the end of the Week

Sweet dreams of Shibboleth...
