I wonder what she is thinking
As she's sitting next to me
Although her eyes are open
And she's staring at the sea

She's lost in contemplation
As her hair hangs to the ground
I wonder, is she praying?
Is she making any sound?

Be still what is swimming through her mind
As she sit's alone? As beautiful as silence
And as quiet as a stone

I wonder where she's heading
When she goes back into town
Who does she relate to
When she puts her money down

Be still, let the darkness fall upon you
Be still, be still
Let the darkness fall upon you
Be still, be still
Let the darkness fall upon you

Her eyes are dark as berries
And her skin is a charcoal brown
She gazes into the future
And to where the sun goes down

To where the night is falling
On a lover or a friend somebody's beginning
Is just someone else's end

Be still, let the darkness fall upon you
Be still, be still
Let the darkness fall upon you
Be still, be still
Let the darkness fall upon you
