The Quiet Life Lyrics

Woke up on a train

Hearing water falling from the dam

Rolled the curtains up


Looked outside


Saw a river running wide


It’s nearly been two years


When I last came here


It felt easier


Still don’t know where I belong


Grabbed my bags


It won’t be long


Only visiting



I don’t live here anymore


I don’t (I don’t) live here anymore


But my heart keeps coming back


I didn’t feel this way before


Never felt this way before


And I keep on hitting the same old tracks



By the river mirror-like


I just walked and gazed far


On the other side


There’s the quiet life


Where the mighty green-brushed mountains lie


And at my mother’s place


Tears were streaming down her face


She looked older than before


I would stay and be of help


Fixing cupboard doors


But I don’t live here anymore


I don’t live here anymore


I don’t (I don’t) live here anymore


Though my heart keeps coming back


I didn’t feel this way before


Never felt this way before


And I keep on hitting the same old tracks

Oh, there’s the quiet life


Oh, there’s the quiet life


Oh, there’s the quiet life
