Earth To Calm Lyrics
This velvet-lined silver box
Rests with me around the clock
Through coloured glass, a piercing dawn
Through broken glass I watch the night fall
Conflict looms in a blood-red sky
A child cries seeking mother’s eyes
Just a fleeting sound of silence please
The day must end praying on your knees
Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
We huddle together and pray for norm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don’t let it be me
Oh please don’t let it be me
Trying hard to stay awake
I’m running fast trying to make the last gate
But lo and behold here I stand
Out of time with my head in my hands
The sweat runs down my desperate face
I’m stumbling on my old rotten legs
The heavy winds build strong their walls
Push me back, no joy at all.
Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
We huddle together and pray for norm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don’t let it be me
Oh please don’t let it be me
Rests with me around the clock
Through coloured glass, a piercing dawn
Through broken glass I watch the night fall
A child cries seeking mother’s eyes
Just a fleeting sound of silence please
The day must end praying on your knees
We huddle together and pray for norm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don’t let it be me
Oh please don’t let it be me
I’m running fast trying to make the last gate
But lo and behold here I stand
Out of time with my head in my hands
I’m stumbling on my old rotten legs
The heavy winds build strong their walls
Push me back, no joy at all.
We huddle together and pray for norm
The flickering light signals the alarm
Oh please don’t let it be me
Oh please don’t let it be me
