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)
