Lie Quiet With Me Songtext
von Diane Cluck

Speak and speak, I start to choke
Lungs exchanging air and smoke
Oh, wisps and rings that divvy up the space
A veil that falls away
Around the freshness of your face

You say, "Lie quiet with me, friend
Words make shapes we don′t intend
Slow down--soul can't always find
Its best expression through the mind
Just being near you
Is how I hear you
No need fear you won′t be heard
Feel the love behind the word"


I wouldn't deign to train the vine
Shake down fruit and call it mine
Still I'm at stake with root aglow
Around which wildness can grow
I′m spun along ecstatic length
A spool summoning its strength
Do you have any idea?

You say, "Lie quiet with me, friend
Words make shapes we don′t intend
Slow down--soul can't always find
Its best expression through the mind
Just being near you
Is how I hear you
No need fear you won′t be heard
Feel the love behind the word"

Sun warming sleeping seed covered over
Light will bleed through each cracked and wounded part
Respect for every waking heart

Lie quiet
Words make shapes
Slow down
Just being near is how we hear
Before you fear you won't be heard
Feel the love
