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
