Slip in this certain knot of peace, I'm keeping silent, Keeping silent, 'til in turn it keeps me
Won't you remain with me

Oh come blissful sleep
Won't you be my release
Oh charitable thief
Come take me away

Oh vessel of grace whisper in my ear
Some melodious sonnet of forgiveness
Sweet seraphim won't you sing me to peace
I'll be waiting

I'll keep my ear to the earth
I'll keep my head to the ground
I'll keep my hands from shaking
I'll keep listening for the sound
I'll keep my eyes to the sea
I'll keep these words in my heart
I'll keep your name on my lips
Until it tears me apart
