Rest in Peace Al Stewart

Met a man in the city
Who said he’d spent his life
In pursuit of some elusive golden fleece
One day he just washed up on the shores of his regrets
May his soul rest in peace
Met a man in the shadows
Who said he’d spent his time
Constantly in search of some release
Showed me his credentials, tattooed into his arm

May his soul rest in peace
I’ve been waiting so long for you
Who knows the reason you do what you do
I’ve been waiting so long to find
Someone like you who can bring peace of mind

Met a woman who had locked herself
Inside an ivory tower
Waiting for the golden opportunities
The days they just grew shorter, and there was no perfect hour

May her soul rest in peace
And I’ve been waiting so long for you
Who knows the reason you do what you do
I’ve been waiting so long to find
Someone like you who can bring peace of mind
