| While the second line always appears in writing and is sung as "restful" conceptually or semantically that doesn't make sense. A word that does make sense there is "restive" which means restless or 'difficult to control'. Restive is probably harder to sing, and many people misunderstand the word's meaning, not realizing a near synonym is restless. But, clearly, the water being described is tumultuous and even dangerous not calm and quiet. | |
