lyrics
Settle down
Let all the dogs run into the night
Let the stars stick in your eye
You do deserve the silence
I love you still
For the stutter in your step
For the splinters in your side
And as the world falls back to violence
I can sit here quiet a while
And smile
How strange to be alive
To love a body
When bodies are breaking all around
To love a mind
When mine cannot describe
Even your right leg
Your small left hand
Unconsciously
Playing in your lap
Your belly laughs
Your fitful sleeps
How you concentrate
How you nod your feet
To a favourite song
I wish I knew the sort
That sent your red coat
Spinning down Cheyne Walk
Can a heaven know?
Can a heaven be?
That could give to you
What you’ve shown to me
And maybe it’s not time to spill
This stuff into your ear
But curse this stiff propriety
And sod these creeping fears
It is
A wondrous thing
To love a body
Beneath the unforgiving night
To love a mind
Before the certainty of time
You’ve got a little more
Left inside of you
Let all the dogs run into the night
Let the stars stick in your eye
You do deserve the silence
I love you still
For the stutter in your step
For the splinters in your side
And as the world falls back to violence
I can sit here quiet a while
And smile
How strange to be alive
To love a body
When bodies are breaking all around
To love a mind
When mine cannot describe
Even your right leg
Your small left hand
Unconsciously
Playing in your lap
Your belly laughs
Your fitful sleeps
How you concentrate
How you nod your feet
To a favourite song
I wish I knew the sort
That sent your red coat
Spinning down Cheyne Walk
Can a heaven know?
Can a heaven be?
That could give to you
What you’ve shown to me
And maybe it’s not time to spill
This stuff into your ear
But curse this stiff propriety
And sod these creeping fears
It is
A wondrous thing
To love a body
Beneath the unforgiving night
To love a mind
Before the certainty of time
You’ve got a little more
Left inside of you
