"Hold Your Tongue"
Wind blow cold upon my shore
Head departed from my body no more
Alone….
With noble thoughts and joy within
I think it will give you no offence
To ease my melancholy today
My soul will not depart today
Yet I swear….
By the moon and by the stars
No bloody hundred dollar golden chain
Without a doubt
Will be hung around my neck
Without my consent
For I am no damn child
As thick as you may think I am
I do not tremble nor do I fear
All I know God is near
As the wind will blow forever more
I shall walk upon my lonely shore
Trust in another will be no more
Now…
Speak no more of that to me
Hold your tongue
And let it be

As thick as you my think I am
I do not tremble nor do I fear
