Quiet
Paul Simon
[Verse 1]
I'm heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And I can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last
[Verse 2]
I'm heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusion
When the perfect circle marries all
Beginnings and conclusions
[Verse 3]
And when they say that you're not good enough
Well, the answer is, you're not
But who are they and what is it
That eats at what you've got?
[Verse 4]
With the hunger of ambition
For the change inside the pursе
They are handcuffs on the soul, my friеnds
Handcuffs on the soul and worse
[Verse 5]
I'm heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweet grass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountain's melted snow
