[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

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
