Hush, my love, lean on my side
I shall be your cave, your friend
Under my skin rest and bide
Close your eyes, let your fear slide
All the tears and wounds shall end
Hush, my love, lean on my side
Sleep, my dove, my joy and pride
This heart shall never descend
Under my skin rest and bide
Life's but a rollercoaster ride
Together we shall ascend
Hush, my love, lean on my side
So long as love is our guide
Enduring days we shall spend
Under my skin rest and bide
Till the moment we're unified
I shall wrestle with whirlwinds
Hush, my love, lean on my side
Under my skin rest and bide
