[Verse 1]

Ride the 28 up through Old Town
Cherry trees cast their blossoms down
I should want for nothing at all
But dogs of longing come when I call

Here again, this grit in my eye
Stagnant pool all covered with flies
See the woman dressed up in white
Cast her sickle into the night

[Chorus]
What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?

What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?
[Verse 2]
Charcoal sketches and lemongrass tea
Paper boats I carried to sea
Memory folds itself on desire
I am ice but married to fire

[Chorus]
What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?

What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?

What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?
What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?

What is rest?
What is rest?
If I cannot sleep next to you?

What is warmth?
What is truth?
If I can't have an effect on you?
