Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by tim rice<br>Produced by phil ramone<br>Duet with lulu<br>Available on the album elton john and tim rice's aida<br><br>Everything is settled, immovable and calm<br>Nothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harm<br>Then the voices railed against us, then the path was steep<br>Now the sounds are softer, now the road is ended<br>In your arms, I'll sleep<br><br>Turn away from madness, burn the inner light<br>Pray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the night<br>Death is just a visitor watching for a while<br>Sullen and predictable, love is versatile<br><br>Everything is peaceful, and falling into place<br>I no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chase<br>Then we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressed<br>Now the pain is over, now we lie together<br>Gratefully at rest<br><br>Put aside the notion that the end is near<br>Stay with me eternally, the terrors disappear<br>Death is just a messenger in a poor disguise<br>Fooling no one, lost for words, love is in your eyes<br><br>Now we know as we are known, unimagined things<br>Death is just the messenger, love the truth it brings
