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