Nichole Nordeman - Hush, Hush lyrics

[Verse 1] This is where your ship went down Right there, stern and bow You took on waves, took on water You took the blame, even harder You drug a net across the ocean floor Beer bottles and a broken oar You washed on shore beneath the moon And I’m not sure you want me to But I’ll put you back together [Chorus] Hush, hush You don’t have to have the answers Hush, hush I will gather all the branches I will light a fire for you Rest your head ’til you’ve had rest enough Hush, now hush Hush, hush [Verse 2] It’s worse in the light of day It hurts the things they say You wrote big letters in the sand You watch the sky and wave your hands But I love you if they never come I love you in the scorching sun One cup of water at a time ‘Til you remember you are mine And I will love you back together [Chorus] Hush, hush You don’t have to have the answers Hush, hush I will gather all the branches I will light a fire for you Rest your head ’til you’ve had rest enough Hush, now hush Hush, hush [Bridge] One cup of water at a time ‘Til you remember you are mine I am the calm, I am the sea Your rescue and recovery And I am the storm that swallowed you I let you bleed, I thought you knew And I am the bottom and I am the floor I am the deep you never knew before I let you sink and I let you go But I caught you in the undertow And I am the shore And I am the flame And mercy is my name! [Outro] Hush, hush Hush now Hush now Hush Hush, hush
