Quiet Place

~Erlich

I spend too much time
I pretend to be fine
So eager to please, to paste the leaves back on the trees

But how can I save
What's been dead for years
And how can I hold and still let go of the burn in my ears

But I'll sing in a quiet place
And I'll sing you to sleep
I'll know ever word to say to finally satisfy you
I'll walk on the water for you
And dream I'm a child
Whose footsteps a light and wild and bright and bold and true

If I had died
Finally taken my life
Would I have been free and finally see the storm at my side
Would you wish me farewell
Would you dive at my grave
Would I speak in your mind or show you a sign to help you be brave

I'll sing in a quiet place
And I'll sing you to sleep
I'll know ever word to say to finally satisfy you
I'll walk on the water for you
And dream you're a child
Whose footsteps are light and wild and bright and bold and true
