Gentle and good night, from where did you come?
This is the hour when all is undone
With everything gone, I am undone
Take us to silence that seldom is here
I will follow when it appears
I will be there, will you be there?
I will give you gifts of my hands
All that they hold is yours to have
I will give you fingers to spend
I will give you my hands
Waken from your sleep, oh you who are tired
I’ve been trembling here on a wire
I’ve been balancing sighs, I’m clenching a wire
All that I know, I have told you
All that I hold, I have shown you
Gentle and good night, when will you come?
This is the hour when all is undone
With everything gone, I am undone
