Lyrics 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
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.
o, 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,
so sweet
so strong
our soothing sighing subtle air
with arms brute and bare.
