Be Still
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Children be still,
Children,
Lace curtains drawn,
for self respect
ripped down and torn
Now the neighbours will never forget
don't let them forget
Time gets hard, men get harder still
still
a crack in the pane
the gab between
those who remain
and those who have been
I am cracked, I'm scratched
but you were just one thing
one thing stays the same
Time gets hard, men get harder still
I will be still
I will be still
Time gets hard, men get harder still
harder still
Children
Time gets hard, men get harder still
birthday present
from the rag and bone shop
a heart that works too well
a heart that won't stop
beating
though sometimes I wish it would stop
stop
Time gets hard, men get harder still
I will be still
Time gets hard, men get harder still
harder still
be still
harder still
Time gets hard, men get harder still
harder still
Time gets hard, men get harder still
harder still
Children
Harder
Still
Children
Harder
Still
I will be still
