Eyeless In Gaza - Lie Still,Sleep Long

Everything still
Everything silent
As after the rains

Shoot out the day
Calm sighing quiet
Has a whisper to say

Everything still
Everything silent
With a soothing refrain

In this world
It's willed of our triumph
Our sorrow
And our gains

Lie still, sleep long love
Who am I
To tear away our world
All care is sure
And lying unaware
In arms full and rare

Everything still
Everything silent
Oh, take me again
Bring me to learn
To learn to unwind us
To bind us of care

Lie still, sleep long love
Who am I to tear away
Our world of care
Our soothing sighing subtle air
With arms brute and bare

Everything still
Everything silent
As after the rains...
