When you are seized by a force that you do not know
It was summer for us, and then it was snow
And what a sight for your eyes to fall upon
Oh, the gift of years, for your frail heart to lean on

We're alive, so we're ending all the time
It is watching above and waiting behind
So I search for myself in your absence
To recall—though it is small—it is still progress

Hush, oh hush
Life is dangerous
When we end
All the sisters play pretend

Hush, oh hush
Life is dangerous
When we end
All the sisters play pretend

Hush, oh hush
Life is dangerous
When we end
All the sisters play pretend

All the sisters
