Quiet Lyrics

Hold my hand as I leave the hide

Shield the sun so the snow don't blind

Be mine

All alone am I

All mothers sing themselves a sweet lullaby

To conquer the quiet

Calf left home and lost the herd

Read my lips as I speak the words

Be mine

All alone am I

All children sing themselves a sweet lullaby

To conquer the quiet

Polish no stone, hinder no fire

Settle no bird on the telephone wire

Be mine

All alone am I

All lovers sing themselves a sweet lullaby

To conquer the quiet

Look to your bed

Blankets undone

Saltwater dry slow

Waiting for sun

The harder one tries to sleep

The harder sleep seems to come

Look to your coat

Still hanging around

Gathering leaves

There on the ground

Pockets still full of receipts, loose change,

And a match that you found

Tell me, my love

Do you ever slow

Down on that river

Down on that road

Will you find what you seek or dig deep

'Til you're rolling in fool's gold
