Quiet People

Jan Felipe


We've been waiting years, anxious to be filled
With overwhelming sounds, hidden underground.

A splendid gentle voice's burning in our ears,
Spreading all around as we disappear.

In this quiet, lonely town, we'll hide in the crowd
And the world won't need us, until we say so.

Now we sing along, a mellow simple song,
To remain in peace and dry out our tears.

At the crack of dawn, we should love again,
Running through the night, as long as we stand.

In this quiet, lonely town, we'll hide in the crowd
And the world won't need us until we say so.

We may disappear for another day,
In a passing dream where we sing again.

In this quiet, lonely town, we'll hide in the crowd
And the world won't need us until we say so.
