Two Gallants - Some Slender Rest Lyrics

Send "Some Slender Rest" ringtone to your cell

And I'm a go make my bed

Tuck in the other side

These confessions are mine

But I'll not claim a word

This restless parade

Yes I watched it go by

Through the cracks in my palm

Seen them all gone

Some sequence of lives

Well she calls out alone

With the pain in her voice

It's the wound of betrayal

It's the weapon of choice

Left her heart on display

Though that she'll deny

Two tattoos of skin

One of ice one of tin

For the days have gone by

But I ain't one to reminisce

But close my heart and clench my fists

Now the days swiftly pass

With the chest full of fear

Here the minutes are hours

But the moments are years

And old acquaintances passed

In trios in pairs

And if they stay or they go

One struggles to know

One struggles to care

But out beyond the Ten Tree walls

The wind blows hard the highway crawls

And if you should pass the James Hotel

Please stop in for I knew you well

But that was oh so long ago

And I never learned how to let go

But when you fear your own faults

And you're sick of this life

When you're reckless of hand

And trembling the knife

And all your doors prefer locks

And your death prefers spoons

Why wouldn't you wait one last laugh at fate

Forever's too soon

But across the field death bell knells

Listen close hear the toll tell

To run and tell my darling true

My breath is short

My days are few

So please come down

And take my hand

My last demand

And lead me to some slender rest

And please dismiss what I confess
