Songtexte On a Quite Night - The Association

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, 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 all about
Are we all minstrels playing in a three-ring circus
Searching for a purpose that's not there?
Silently, silently (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
And 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
And I'm inside my room
Captured in a moment's thought
Strumming on a chord from my guitar
Silently, silently (Silently, silently)
So silently (So silently, so silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)

(Silently, silently)
