Hold your tongue and walk away
Say it's been a lovely day
Say tomorrow evening's fine
Meet me by Saint John's divineUntil discordant bells have rung
Hold, hold your tongueHold your tongue and walk away
Say it's been a heavenly day
Angels sing a lullaby
Hush now don't you start to cryGilded wing and silver lung
Hold, hold your tongueI'll say what I want to say
And when I want it said
But tonight's not coming down on meHold your tongue until it's gone
All your words might come undone
Say goodnight and walk away
Silent bells begin to swayChiming melodies unsung
Hold, hold your tongueAnd hold, hold your tongue
And hold, hold your tongue
