Songtext von On a Quiet Night

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 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 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 Silently out through in 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 Strumming on a chord from my guitar Silently, silently So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)
