Hush, Hush, Hush

(album: This Fire - 1996)

Long white arms
losing their strength and form
sixty-year man on twenty year old skin

skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth
look to your father for some support

hush, hush, hush
says your daddy's touch
sleep sleep sleep
says the hundredth sheep
peace peace peace
may you go in peace

cruel old joke
waited so long to show
the one that you wanted wasn't a girl

all your life
you kept it hidden inside
now when you step you stumble, you die

[Refrain]

oh maye next time
you'll be Henry VIII
wake up tomorrow
and dawn to the great

open your eyes
and a new life will begin
oh maybe next you'll begin with a chance

hush hush hush

hush hush hush

hush hush hush
oh hush hush hush
oh hush
