Rest Your Head On Me

Laurie Kaufmann

When I close my eyes and I dream
I′m looking at a white horse in the field
Standing by you old friend, grazing on the cloverAnd you, you're sitting on the fence, until you call me over
Why does it always have to end
Before we have the chance to talk again?
I′m still looking out for you
Rest your head on me
Oh please, don't be afraid of the things you need
Rain will fall outside these walls
But you can close your eyes and sleep
Well my life's been like a freight train
Barreling through the snow
Taking me to places where I don′t want to go
Is it so insane to make my escape if there′s a way?
'Cause now that I′m clean out of my mind
It's easier to make my way to yours
I′ll set up my camp on the ground at the edge of your dream
Have myself a look around and see what you see
Rest your head on me
Oh please don't be afraid of the things you need
Rain will fall outside these walls
But you can close your eyes and sleep
I will sing you lullabies all night
And you can cry if you want
Let your tears fall into the pond
We′ll be walking in that field before too long
Blue mountain in the distance
And a valley too
A breathless bit of sunset just coming into view
I'm following the tracks of your wheels
They tell me what you've been through
I can see those deep ruts, how your days have run you rough
Though your sturdy iron soul′s been holding you up
Sometimes it′s just not enough
You need to let the lion bow to the dove
So won't you rest your head on me
Oh please don′t be afraid of the things you need
Rain will fall outside these walls
But you can close your eyes and sleep
I will sing you lullabies all night
And you can cry if you want
Let your tears fall into the pond
We'll be walking in that field come the dawn
Yes my friend, rest your head on me
Oh please don′t be afraid
You can dream
I'll be here dreaming with you
