I Want To Be Peaceful

Bear Quartet · Old Friends EP [2000]

to walk into someone else's calm

to feel welcome in someone's arms

I rinse the cup, unplug the phonecord

in case sleep brings me to where I receive love

I don't want to wake up

I want to be peaceful



to recognize someone else's pain

to be the one who takes some of it away

I blink my eyes, don't know what woke me

outside, the night, it's open not empty

I wan't to admire the distance

from an even mightier distance

I was looking for you
