Hush, Hush, Hush

Herbie Hancock


Hush, Hush, Hush
(featuring: Annie Lennox)

Long white arms 
Losing their strength and form 
Sixty year man on twenty year old skin 
Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth 
Look to your father for some support 

[Chorus:] 
Hush, hush, hush 

Says your daddy's touch 
Sleep sleep sleep 
Says the hundredth sheep 
Peace peace peace 
May you go in peace 

Cruel joke you waited so long to show 
The one that you wanted wasn't a girl 
All your life you kept it hidden inside 
Now when you step 
You stumble 
You die 

[Chorus] 

Oh maybe next time 
You'll be henry the 8th 
Wake up tomorrow, alexander the great 
Open your eyes in a new life again 
Oh maybe next time 
You'll be given a chance 

Hush, hush, hush 
Hush...
