John Cale Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed Lyrics:
Words: Dylan Thomas

Lie still, sleep becalmed, sufferer with the wound
In the throat, burning and turning. All night
afloat On the silent sea we have heard the sound
That came from the wound wrapped in the salt
sheet.

Under the mile off moon we trembled listening To

the sea sound flowing like blood from the loud
wound And when the salt sheet broke in a storm of
singing The voices of all the drowned swam on the
wind.

Open a pathway through the slow sad sail, Throw
wide to the wind the gates of the wandering boat
For my voyage to begin to the end of my wound, We
heard the sea sound sing, we saw the salt sheet
tell, Lie still, sleep becalmed, hide the mouth in
the throat, Or we shall obey, and ride with you
through the drowned.
Lyrics: Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed, John Cale [end]
