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
A 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.
