A Rest
Written by Jeremy James Meyer

Come on babe lets give it a rest
We've been howling like the winds
in this open wilderness
Come on babe I don't want to fight anymore
Lets let this storm pass
and pull safely to shore
That open door
That open door

Caught in the portrait of a mile
Ain't no way to live
ain't no way to smile
And I can see you shining in that mirror
I'll be shining right back at you
whenever you are near
Gotta rest my spirits
Gonna stay for a while

Come on babe lets give it a rest
This ain't so much a hurry
as a waiting for the best
And we'll keep moving through these stars
We're about as far out as we can be
and we're cruising past mars
Can't always stay
Don't know what to say
