Quiet Life

Bonnie Pink · Evil And Flowers [1998]

This is land very far from you

I never can touch your face

This is the land far from happy

So am I, no matter where I go

Pretty landscape, fresh coffee

Quiet life I longed for is my enemy now

"What's wrong with you, babe?"

Ask an old goat

I forgot everything even a bitter smile



In a dream, darling

You stroke my arms and say

"It's O.K. It's O.K."

But I knew it doesn't last so long

So I try to dream of you every night

And I try to hold you every time



This is the land very far from you

I never can hear your voice

This is the land far from success

So am I, no matter how you bet

Perfect starry sky, grand piano

Quiet life I longed for is my enemy now

Birds started for you

Left me here

I forgot everything even your way of waving



In a dream, darling

You stroke my arms and say

"It's O.K. It's O.K."

In a dream, darling

You stroke my hair and say

"It's O.K. It's O.K."

But I knew it doesn't last so long

So I try to dream of you every night

And I try to hold you every time



Quiet life
