Hush, Hush - Nichole Nordeman

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

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

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

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

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!

Hush, hush

Hush now

Hush now

Hush

Hush, hush
