John Cale - Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Words: dylan thomas
  • Lie still, sleep becalmed, sufferer with the wound
  • In the throat, burning and turning. all night afloat
  • On the silent sea we have heard the sound
  • That came from the wound wrapped in the salt sheet.
  • Under the mile off moon we trembled listening
  • To the sea sound flowing like blood from the loud wound
  • And when the salt sheet broke in a storm of singing
  • The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind.
  • Open a pathway through the slow sad sail,
  • Throw wide to the wind the gates of the wandering boat
  • For my voyage to begin to the end of my wound,
  • We heard the sea sound sing, we saw the salt sheet tell,
  • Lie still, sleep becalmed, hide the mouth in the throat,
  • Or we shall obey, and ride with you through the drowned.
