On A Quite Night

On a quiet night
You can hear the rustlin' of the leaves
On a quiet night
Distant voices carry softly in the breeze

And I'm inside my room
Captured in a moment's thought
Strummin' on a chord from my guitar
Silently, silently (Silently, silently)
So silently (So silently)

On a quiet night
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
I'm lyin' on my bed
Scratchin' my head, wonderin' what it's all about

Are we all minstrels
Playin' in a three-ring circus
Searchin' for a purpose that's not there?
Silently, silently (Silently, silently)
So silently (So silently, so silently, so silently)

Everybody's thinkin'
Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead
Everybody's drinkin'
Hurryin', worryin', playin' the game
And actin' the same
As I look out through my windowpane

On a quiet night
The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
Like some unsolved mystery
We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near

And I'm inside my room
Captured in a moment's thought
Strummin' on a chord from my guitar
Silently, silently (Silently, silently)
So silently (So silently, so silently, so silently)
