[Verse 1: Paula Cole]
Long white arms losing their strength and form
Sixty year man on twenty year old skin
Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth
Look to your father for some support
[Chorus: Paula Cole]
Hush, hush, hush
Says your daddy's touch
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Says the hundredth sheep
Peace, peace, peace
May you go in peace
[Verse 2: Paula Cole]
Cruel joke you waited so long to show
The one that you wanted wasn't a girl
All your life you kept it hidden inside
Now when you step, you stumble, you die
[Chorus: Paula Cole]
Hush, hush, hush
Says your daddy's touch
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Says the hundredth sheep
Peace, peace, peace
May you go in peace
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel]
Oh, maybe next time you'll be Henry the 8th
Wake up tomorrow, Alexander the great
Open your eyes in a new life again
Oh, maybe next time, you'll be given a chance
Hush, hush, hush
[Outro: Paula Cole]
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Oh, hush, hush, hush
Oh, hush
