Mama she calls the table is ready tonight
We ate played, day after day
Summer winds take thistle seeds for ride
We picked a piece of that family pie
Moving back and forth with the tide
Why don’t we rest some more tonight?
Got some feelings deep inside
Out of our sleep we shall rise
Us children rode bicycles in the moonlight
And kicked that football in the paddock ‘til it lost its hide
And sister dressed me in those old fancy clothes, and when I
Put that sunflower seed in the ground you could watch it grow
Moving back and forth with the tide
Why don’t we rest some more tonight?
Got some feelings deep inside
Out of our sleep we shall rise
Sittin’ in a tree eating apples on a Saturday
We never knew what would happen in the days to come
Chicks leave the nest when they know how to fly
The ebbs and flows see our innocence fade
Moving back and forth with the tide
Why don’t we rest some more tonight?
Got some feelings deep inside
Out of our sleep we shall rise
