Presuming Ed (Rest Easy) Lyrics

My brother fear is only natural
You need to chill your fucking bones
Lay her down
Drink this in, while you can
Whisper
Rest easy
There's a belly full of life
Watch her
She's dreaming of a belly full of life
Right there on the pillow

This is why we are here
Rest easy
This is why we are here
Rest easy

You know that everything is finite
You know you two are not alone
Soothe her brow
Drink her smile
Watch her dream
You'll feel Christ-like
When it's breathing in and out
You'll feel Christ-like
When it's breathing in and out
Right there on the pillow

This is why we are here
Rest easy

This is about a man whose partner is pregnant. He is scared and his friend, lets call him Guy, is telling him not to worry. Beautiful song.

I agree with that. It is indeed a beautiful song.

'This is why we are here' seems like a direct reference to the humankind's basic biological aim; to reproduce.

Lovely song, guy's voice is beautiful.

What about the song title? Presuming Ed is a character in the film 'Withnail & I' but is that relevant?
