Versuri Marc Cohn Rest for the Weary

My father was a working man  
But his work was never done  
He stood behind a counter  
And he smiled at everyone  
He bought himself a business  
Worked seven days a week  
Took a holiday for Christmas  
Then he fell asleep beside the tree  
But one day  
 
One day  
There's love for the lonely  
One day  
They walk in the sun  
One day  
Rest for the weary  
Rest for the weary ones  
 
Now my mother stood beside him  
She did what she could do  
But if you look at some old photograph 
She looks tired too  
I hope there was some laughter  
'Cause I know there were some tears 
Now all I can say is I pray to God  
That after all those years  
After all those years  
That one day  
 
One day  
There's love for the lonely  
One day  
They walk in the sun  
One day  
Rest for the weary  
Rest for the weary ones  
 
Now I'm just another traveller  
On another winding road  
I'm trying to walk some kind of line 
I'm trying to pull some kind of load  
Now sometimes I move real easy  
Sometimes I can't catch my breath  
Sometimes I see my father's footsteps 
And man it scares me half to death  
But one day  
 
One day  
There's love for the lonely  
One day  
We walk in the sun  
One day  
Rest for the weary  
Rest for the weary ones
