Quiet, quiet,
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
She and I go walking together through the sand
The evening sun throws long shadows on the beach
The gulls are circling far off on the horizon
There's a seal that's still sunning itself a bit
It could be so peaceful, a last breath of summer
But she tells again without a period and comma
I can barely take it
I'd love to just tell her
Quiet, just be quiet
Please, please shut your trap
Just give me a short
Half hour of only silence
Then my skies would be blue
You're the woman that I want
But you're there even in silence
I know of a convent
A room just became available there
I'd like to go there with her
Because it's a silent order
And in the supermarket instead of normal fizzy water
I always buy her silent spring water instead
I sent her a DVD, "The Silence of the Lambs"
We sit on the sofa
She talks and I doze
I myself don't know exactly
Why I never trust myself to say
Quiet, just be quiet
Please, please shut your trap
Just give me a short
Half hour of only silence
Then my skies would be blue
You're the woman that I want
But you're there even in silence
One day there'll be manslaughter or murder because of it
But I can't tell her that
Because I can never get a word in
Doo doo doo
Quiet, just be quiet
Please, please shut your trap
Just give me a short
Half hour of only silence
Then my skies would be blue
You're the woman that I want
But you're there even in silence
