Place stones on my eyes

And let me rest.

Eternal is a bit too long for my taste.

Place stones on my eyes

And let me rest

A deep night then, a long night

Air cool as velvet

Place stones on my eyes

And let me rest

I care not to nap this evening

No breeze, no birdsong reverie

Place stones on my eyes

And let me rest.

Fall deep and fast and long

Into the graceful depths

Place stones on my eyes

And let me rest,

let me rest.
