You know that awesome stillness
When the stars are in and the clouds are out
Wind dims from a breeze into the calm
Hear the rambling of the creek and your hands in your pocket
For your the only waking creature
Rustling in the night
Instead of flies by your ears
It's your own pulsing blood you hear
For this brief moment in the dark
This country rests, nothing stirs
Land and sea and sky and beast
Sleep now, for the dogs are soon to bark
And now the setting illness
As she doesn't speak and keeps on the light
Beside her bed, gathered round and held her head
No exchange, just hanging warmth and ceased breath
For your the only waking creature
Rustling in the night
Instead of flies by your ears
It's your own pulsing blood you hear
For this brief moment in the dark
This country rests, nothing stirs
Land and sea and sky and beast
Sleep now, for the dogs are soon to bark
