Hey Ruth - Learning How To Rest lyrics

I came around the corner of the outer edge of town You were standing in the center There were people gathered all around I'd never get through this crowd My heart went kind of numb But You smiled when You saw me and You beckoned me to come So I struggled through the pressing ma** I had a thousand things to say But I was sure Your ears were flooded And there was just too much in the way CHORUS: But then You said to me "Come away by yourself to a lonely place for a while Well, I'm sure you're tired You know, I cannot even see your smile There's just too many people here Why don't you come and be with me" Then you took my hand And we headed out for the sea I got home late this morning You've been gone since the other day They took You to the tomb but I guess we all go there someday I came out here to get away to get some time to think Cause nothing's making sense right now I feel like I'm on the brink Then on the distant shore I hear some strong voice say "That side is yielding nothing Cast your nets the other way" It was You CHORUS: Then you said to me, "Come away by yourself to a lonely place for a while Well, I'm sure you're tired You know, I cannot even see your smile There's just too much confusion here Why don't you come and be with me" I asked You where are we going You simply told me that I'd be free BRIDGE: You know things get hard and the world's not stopping for me But I know now what to do, and I know where I need to be cause You said to me... (repeat CHORUS)
