Hush
Hush now
baby
Hush those
sweet lips
We just
don't have the time
To sink
battleships
Hush now
honey
You don't
owe me a thing
You are
not my possession
And you
don't wear my ring
Hush now
baby
It hurts
when you're sad
No need
to be angry
No need
to stay mad
Hush now
honey
Because
there is nothing to say
Spilt milk
on the floor
Will soon
fade away
Hush now
baby
Be still
and watch me
As I watch
you and want you
You're not
blind, you must see
Hush now
honey
Come here,
take my hand
Never walk
out and leave me
So far from
dry land.
