Lyrics
Rest up in the gentle sway
Rest peacefully in a gentle movement or rhythm
Sister make a flower place
Female sibling creating a space for flowers or beauty
The mother, father, brother grace
The qualities of maternal, paternal, and fraternal kindness
A river of stones to keep her safe
A protective barrier made of stones to safeguard someone
Come away with me today
Invitation to depart together immediately
Everything should be okay
Assurance that everything will be fine
Fill you pockets while you pray
Collecting or gathering things while praying
With some to eat and some to save
Gathering resources for both immediate consumption and future use
Nobody has to stay
Emphasis that no one is obligated to remain
But we wish they would anyways
Expressing the desire for individuals to stay despite no obligation
It is the evening of the days
Referencing the twilight or ending moments of an era or time
Where we have chosen to remain
Choosing to stay in a certain situation or circumstance
And while you hurt with all that pain
Acknowledgment of suffering or pain
The stars will kiss your pretty face
Assurance that even in pain, beauty (represented by stars) touches you
Come away with me today
Repeated invitation to depart together immediately
Everything should be okay
Reassurance that everything will be fine
Fill you pockets while you pray
Gathering things while praying, akin to line 8
With some to eat and some to save
Gathering resources for sustenance and future security, like line 9
Nobody has to stay
Reiteration that nobody is obliged to remain
But we wish they would anyways
Expressing the wish for individuals to stay despite no obligation
