Let's Be Still Lyrics
Let's be still, be still for awhile
There's no place I wanna be
Lose our way and sit side by side
Passing time so carelessly, so carelessly
Upon the shore
One quiet night
Take off our shoes
and watch the sky
Against the moon
the clouds go by
I hold your hand
You start to cry
Lost in our dreams of summer love
The only place I wanna be
Find a spell and hope no one tells
Time goes by unendingly, unendingly
There's no place I wanna be
Lose our way and sit side by side
Passing time so carelessly, so carelessly
One quiet night
Take off our shoes
and watch the sky
Against the moon
the clouds go by
I hold your hand
You start to cry
The only place I wanna be
Find a spell and hope no one tells
Time goes by unendingly, unendingly

I think the two missing verses are "Along the shore/one quiet night"
The lyrics are almost the typical cliche love song, but the way they're delivered, the length of the song, and the backdrop of the free jazz makes it wonderfully unique.
This song is absolutely sublime. So gentle, so serene yet there is this strong passionate undertone that overwhelms you. This is just what I get when I listen to it. From a instrument prospective it is just right.Once again another song that makes you want to make love and lose yourself completely in a person. ...Yo La Tengo
This song has always reminded me of tulips for some reason
It's a simple song, but it is one of my favorites of all time.
I love this song...it should have way more comments than this :(
I agree barehills.. if youre a true fan (of jazz even) you should probably comment on this.. I can't justify why, but you should do it for the love of this song.. maybe future generations will come to this site and check out what we had to say years and years ago. As for the meaning.. its pretty evident. beautiful classic love song
Yeah, I had a couple songs from this record but when I listened to samples I had to get this one! It's just so beautiful and the jazz fills make it so rich... "you start to cry"
