My knight is preparing to sail oer the sea
For all that he swore ne'er to leave me,
The King he has summoned, and so it must be.
My love's parting words do sustain me.

(Chorus)
Rest well, my love.
Rest well, my love.
Though we're apart, you'll rest in my heart,
So rest well, my love.

The battles are raging, and many have died.
My love stands alone heavy hearted.
And though it is true I can't be by his side
These words I may send while we're parted.

(Chorus)

A message has come from the lands far away
My love now in God's arms is lying.
Yet as he lay fading, with last breath did pray
That I know his vow was undying.

(Chorus)

I stand with his banner and look out to sea,
With heaven's good grace, may he hear me.
And knowing I'm strong may he comforted be,
For he shall forever be near me.

(Chorus) Rest well, my love. Rest well, my love. Though we're apart, you'll live in my heart, So rest well, my love.
