Where I Was Put to Rest

Title by @techiehux

(I saw this once and thought it would make for a good song title)

(soft piano)

Many a time has come and gone

Where this feeling stirs about in my breast

It’s the fond memory of my home sweet home

Where I was put to rest

How I long to come back and rest my head

In a place where I know I belong

To lay for a while in my bed

And hear the nightingale’s song

If only there was a way

For me to get back home

If only if was nearby

And then I wouldn’t have to roam

Then like a nightingale

Returning to her nest

I’ll come back to where I was put to rest

(Some strings, flute solo)

The memories won’t fade, with me they will remain

And as the years go by, I’ll never feel the same

The seasons come and go

The cycle never ends

Eventually we’ll lose our family and friends

All the joy and all the tears were only for the best

So when I roam

I’ll come home

To where I was put to rest

(No lie, I almost cried a little while writing this)
