Speak softly, closely, love
Warm breath stirs will for life
Of any tremblin' dove
Wounded by word or knife
A kiss on closed eyes
I forever will see
Kiss them now
Comfort me
Oh oh oh
Walk ever quietly, dear
Don't wake the sleeping dog
He makes disquieting fear
He rests beyond the fog
Sweet balm of dark
Lie here tenderly
Cover all
Comfort me
Oh oh oh
Bathe me in clouds, my love
Clean crust of tiresome day
Drink cool and blue, my love
Don't let us float away
Lighter than air the body must be
Dance with grace
Comfort me
Oh oh oh
Speak softly, closely, love
Warm breath stirs will for life
Of any tremblin' dove
Wounded by word or knife
A kiss on closed eyes
I forever will see
Kiss them now
Comfort me
Me
Comfort me
