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.
