i want to be still

i want to walk into your grave

where i can shelter in peace

until all our cares have blown away

let the whole world fall away

and fall into my arms

stay with me

i don't know how long we've got left

and so i'm asking you

to forgive me

i learn as i go

to float far away

into silence

and just watch your face

and find some kind of grace

in that quiet bliss

can i stay and say nothing at all, at all

where will we go when we get old

when the bustle and the noise

get too frightning

when each and every angry word

is banished to the past

that when i think

we'll learn as we go

to float far away

into silence

and i'll watch your face

and read of patience and grace

in each line there

work each day

all for nothing at all, at all

and the few words i say

they mean nothing at all at all

will you walk into the grave with me

will you leave this empty world

soft and wistfull

to sink into the dark, dark earth

and never reappear would be blissful

to float far away

into eternal space

and God's silence

where i'll watch your face

and find patience and grace

in each line there

drift away into nothing at all at all

find the grace to be nothing at all at all

fade away and end up nothing at all

at all at all at all
