This Big Hush - Shriekback

Is there a fire in the sky

Is there a moon up there

Is anything alive now

This darkness is what I hear

This is a breathless silence

A moment out of time

I see your face in the shadows

The tell-tale signs are in your eyes

More than I can hold in my hand

Running through the gaps like water

Aching with a passion inside

Deep as the river

All desire

The ashes and the fire

Turning this night inside

And the light from you

Is there a flame in the dark

is there a bright heart star

These creatures look the same now

We freeze wherever we are

We wake alone in the blackness

We sleep whenever we fall

One dream all around us This big hush infects us all

Holding up an animal fear

Soaking up the waves underwater

Tuned to music no-one can hear

Forever in this half-light

All desire

The ashes and the fire

Turning this night inside

And the light from you

All desire

The ashes and the fire

Turning this night inside

And the light from you

More than I can hold in my hand

Running through the gaps like water

Aching with a passion inside

Deep as the river

All desire

The ashes and the fire

Turning this night inside

And the light from you

All desire

The ashes and the fire

Turning this night inside

Turning this night inside

Turning this night inside

And the light from you
