When All Is Quiet and Still

when all is quiet and still
i am at my calmest
i wish that i could enjoy the pleasure of your conversation
oh how i despise the end of certain eras
i still have the old bookmarks with all the happy faces

when all is quiet and still
i am at my calmest
i wish that i could enjoy the cheerfulness of your voice
oh how i wish i could be way more convincing
i still have the old practice tapes seat belt ignorant dummies like myself

when all is quiet and still
i am at my calmest
i wish that i could enjoy the rare pleasantness of your sincere personality
oh how i wish the timing was more biased and strategic
i still have all of the old cassette tapes with a particular irma thomas song that i always come running back to in modern times
