Relative Quiet
For the first time in months, it is quiet
(Well, as much as the city can be)
‘Cause the neighbors upstairs
(Which caught me unawares)
Have moved out, which is super for me.
Their wood floors didn’t have any carpets
And somebody (a child?) liked to drop
Balls or playthings all day
(They were never away)
And I thought that it never would stop.
But a moving truck parked by the building
And it loaded up all of their stuff.
Now they aren’t around
And I don’t hear a sound
But the traffic, and that’s quite enough!
