lovely games of yesterday
|
have left me with my soul today
|
felicity flies out the door
|
when people lose their warmth
|
|
that's a very ordinary bummer
|
i'll hold out for summer days
|
stand and laugh and run
|
in a quiet movie of mine
|
|
i saw a girl with eyes like fire
|
i had to look away
|
she was swearing like a sailor
|
and demanding her own way
|
|
that was when i knew i had to love her
|
i opened up my sad old eyes
|
and let the feelings run
|
with a quiet beauty of mine
|
|
maybe sometimes we do bad things
|
and then other times we do good
|
and sometimes from something very bad
|
comes something very good
|
in a quiet year of mine
|
