Be Still And Know God (Don't Be Shy) - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

One night while walking on the rounds

One seems to lose all control

The face jerks in a spasm of frowns

And the blood on the shirt

Ladies' faces and memories of things

Tried to long put away

Surprised the head and a number of things

Seemed to subtly say

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

I can glance with a movement of lids

Or a shift of my head

When confronted with things that I did

Act like nothing’s been said

Or take god as a covering guard

When I do not believe

In the grace of a governing god

Who can see us in need

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

Help me find what it is to be

Is a womanly cry

Any hint of a request for help

Is not from I

I can sing on the corners of streets

O so in love

While some goat incessantly bleats

From there above

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy

O don’t be shy
