QUIESCENT

QUIESCENT

After the hurly-burly of a busy day
Handling and juggling all those facts
Let the others go out again to play
Me, I only desire to rest and relax

Me, I only desire to rest and relax
Close my eyes and to think of stars
Peaceful moments work often lacks
Ignoring the sound of all passing cars

Ignoring the sound of all passing cars
Let the street outside just do its thing
Halfway to Heaven, going past Mars
Feeling the charge that quiet can bring

No longer any need to be effervescent
Just get comfortable and be quiescent
