Mott The Hoople - Rest in Peace lyrics

Studio Version Oh if my wheel could take another turn And if my life replaced itself again I wouldn't want a single thing to change Oh it's been good, though it's been strange And if my dreams were willing to come true Oh I would not even try to let them through I'm sure there's things I've missed, that others preached The goals they reached, they weren't for me Rest in peace Even though the worries seem to mount Don't let them count Rest in peace Throw all those smiles and paper miles away You make willow pattern pictures through the rain And swallow when your heart begins to breathe Just like a bird, do what it please 'Cause I ain't gonna be here all that long And when I'm old I want to know I sung If there's a road ahead, I'll jump right in Just got to win, this is my hymn Rest in peace Even though your worries seem to mount Don't let them count Rest in peace Rest in peace Live Version Oh if my wheel could take another turn And if my life replaced itself again I wouldn't want a single thing to change Oh it's been good, though it's been strange And if my dreams were willing to come true Oh I would not even try to force them through I'm sure there's things I've missed, that others preached The goals they reached, they weren't for me Rest in peace Even though the worries seem to mount Don't let them count Rest in peace Throw all those miles and paper smiles away You make willow pattern pictures through the rain And swallow when your heart begins to breathe Just like the birds, do what they please 'Cause you know, we ain't gonna be here all that long And when I go I want to know I sung If there's a road ahead, I'll jump right in Just got to win, this is my hymn Rest in peace Even though your worries seem to mount Don't let them count Rest in peace Rest in peace
