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 score for this version is available here
The Quiet Way you move me
Sometimes when you fall asleep
It seems you take me with you
Deep into a peaceful land,
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,
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 . . .
