Tell Me It's Over (song)
Across the fields I’ve roamed
and I have finally found a place to call my own,
where my mother can rest her weary feet
and where my babies can safely sleep.
Tell me it’s over. Tell me it’s put to bed.
Tell me it’s over and I can rest my weary head.
I have opened up my pride
‘cause I could finally see that you were by my side.
Every time I was crying, you came to comfort me
and when I thought I was dying, you lay me down to sleep.
Tell me it’s over. Tell me it’s put to bed.
Tell me it’s over and I can rest my weary head.
‘Cause when the world starts to fall,
I’m as frightened as a little child
and when I’ve worked through it all,
I’m so tired, my mind’s running wild.
‘Cause I can’t hear myself think, I can’t breathe,
I can’t hold onto anything. And I need,
I just need to know that I’ve come back
and that my heart can finally sing.
Tell me it’s over. Tell me it’s over. Tell me it’s put to bed.
Tell me it’s over and I can rest my head.
Tell me it’s over. Tell me it’s over and I can rest my weary head.
