Hush - Carrie Newcomer

You can rest your head upon my heart

And we’ll curl into a question mark

And I’ll hold you in the arms of hush

And love will have to be enough

There’s a time to laugh and a time to grieve

There’s a time to speak and a time to breathe

Let the silence be the place we meet

The space between our heart beats

Hey, la, hey, la, hey, li

Hush, my darlin', hush a bye

Sparrows fall and sparrow fly

And we may not ever know why

Some things we can forgive one time

Then it’s out of sight and it’s out of mind

Some things we have to forgive twice

And every day for all our lives

Hey, la, hey, la, hey, li

Hush, my darlin', hush a bye

Sparrows fall and sparrow fly

And we may not ever know why

The known world is an open letter

The unknown world we’ll brave together

I’ll knit you a redemption sweater

To wrap your troubles in

You can rest your head upon my heart

And we’ll curl into a question mark

And I’ll hold you in the arms of hush

And love will have to be enough

Hey, la, hey, la, hey, li

Hush, my darlin', hush a bye

Sparrows fall and sparrow fly

And we may not ever know why

Hey, la, hey, la, hey, li

Hush, my darlin', hush a bye

Sparrows fall and sparrow fly

And we may not ever know why

We may not ever know why

Hush, my darlin', hush a bye
