Singing Softly To Me

Kings of Convenience · Quiet Is The New Loud [2001]

Things seem so much better when

They're not part of your close surroundings

Like words in a letter sent

Amplified by the distance

Possibilities and sweeter dreams

Sights and sounds calling form far away

Calling from far away



I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you singing softly to me

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I didn't see the brave girl so near me

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you sing softly to me



I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved

I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing

I wanted a story that couldn't be told

Only the fishing part of fishing



I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you singing softly to me

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I didn't see the brave girl so near me

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you sing softly to me



And now I find

It was you all the time.

I'm in love again-

It's too late now...
