Hush Now
Sssshhhhhh
Hush your voice and muffle your words. Quiver at the thought you might be heard.
The Lord’s are waiting with baited breath.
The ladies crave your iminent death.
You tread the steps, as gentle as smoke
And recall the words the blind one spoke:
Hush your voice, and muffle your words. Tremble at the thought you might be heard.
Dogs that aren’t dogs, bite at their chain.
And the singer’s of the court bring meledies of pain.

Bite your tongue as the old ones dance.
Watch your feet aren’t caught in a trance.
Hush your voice, and muffle your words. Long for the moment you might be heard.
For just this moment, for one last night
You glimpse the world of wonder and fright.
You risk this breath to say good bye.
And leave the night with a final sigh.
Hush your voice, and muffle your words. And long for the chance when you could have been heard.
