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
