On a quiet night
|
You can hear the rustling 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
|
Strumming on a chord from my guitar
|
Silently, silently (silently)
|
So silently (so silently)
|
|
On a quiet night
|
Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
|
I'm lying on my bed
|
Scratching my head, wondering what it's about
|
|
Are we all minstrels
|
Playing in a three-ring circus
|
Searching for a purpose that's not there
|
Silently, silently (silently)
|
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
|
|
Everybody's thinking
|
Gotta get ahead, gotta get ahead
|
Everybody's drinking
|
Hurrying, worrying, playing the game
|
All acting 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
|
|
Are we all minstrels
|
Playing in a three-ring circus
|
Searching for a purpose that's not there
|
Silently, silently (silently)
|
So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
