dwsChorale: Music

The Quiet Way You Move Me

()
David W Solomons
The song was intended for a play by Nevil Frenkiel called "Barabbas"; the mother is singing this lullaby to her child - but, at this stage, the audience does not know whether the baby is Jesus or Barabbas...

This version includes a backing chorus sung by the dwsChorale.

The Quiet Way you move me
Sometimes when you fall asleep
It seems you take me with you
Deep into a peaceful land,br> Far from all the heart-ache
That you`ll understand one day
the quiet way you move me
Sometimes when you fall asleep
It seems you take me with you
Deep into a peaceful land,br> Far from all the heart-ache
I find myself complete
I find myself repeating a prayer and smiling at the sky
Now within your drowsy eyes
I can see why the world has lost all its wonders
A new dream is rising impatient to begin
And when the dream is through
Your hungry feelings will find me
My comfort is you . . . The quiet way you move me . . .
