[Verse 1: Annie Lennox]
Long white arms
Losing their strength and form
Sixty year man on twenty-year-old skin
Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth
Look to your father for some support

[Chorus: Annie Lennox]
Hush, hush, hush
Says your daddy's touch
Sleep sleep sleep
Says the hundredth sheep
Peace peace peace
May you go in peace

[Verse 2: Annie Lennox]
Cruel joke you waited so long to show
The one that you wanted wasn't a girl
All your life, you kept it hidden inside
Now when you step, you stumble, you die

[Chorus: Annie Lennox]
Hush, hush, hush
Says your daddy's touch
Sleep sleep sleep
Says the hundredth sheep
Peace peace peace
May you go in peace
[Bridge: Annie Lennox]
Oh, maybe next time
You'll be henry the 8th
Wake up tomorrow, Alexander the Great
Open your eyes in a new life again
Oh maybe next time, you'll be given a chance

[Outro: Annie Lennox]
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush
