Quiet As It's Kept - Marvin Sease

Light shines down from the windows of your house The rain passes lightly Pink tangerine that lives on your wall Spins your room slightly Your eyes are open, it's almost morning I daydream your voice It echoes through the walls In my mind, your voice ain't mine It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet It is so quiet, it's loud And the night drags on We finish drinks sideways Telephone rings, rattles once and stops It hangs up while you're dreaming My eyes are open now, outside it's pouring I daydream your voice It echoes through the halls In my mind, racing through the crowd I hear your voice say mine It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud Mmm, it is so quiet, it's loud It is so quiet, it's loud So quiet, it's loud It is so quiet, it's loud

There are moments that the words don't reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can Then push away the unimaginable The moments when you're in so deep Feels easier to just swim down And so they move uptown And learn to live with the unimaginable I spend hours in the garden I walk alone to the store And it's quiet uptown I never liked the quiet before I take the children to church on Sunday A sign of the cross at the door And I pray That never used to happen before If you see him in the street walking by himself Talking to himself, have pity You would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown He is working through the unimaginable His hair has gone grey, he passes every day They say he walks the length of the city You knock me out, I fall apart Can you imagine? Look at where we are Look at where we started I know I don't deserve you But hear me out, that would be enough If I could spare his life If I could trade his life for mine He'd be standing here right now And you would smile And that would be enough I don't pretend to know The challenges we're facing I know there's no replacing what we've lost And you need time But I'm not afraid I know who I married Just let me stay here by your side And that would be enough If you see him in the street, walking by her side Talking by her side, have pity Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown He is trying to do the unimaginable If you see him walking in the park, long after dark Taking in the sights of the city Look around, look around, look around They are trying to do the unimaginable There are moments that the words don't reach There's a grace too powerful to name We push away what we could never understand We push away the unimaginable They're standing in the garden Standing there side by side She takes his hand It's quiet uptown Forgiveness, can you imagine? Forgiveness, can you imagine? If you see him in the street, walking by her side Talking by her side, have pity Look around, look around They are going through the unimaginable

Do you believe in dreams This is a song about a young lady that was once in my life Here's my story Listen I left home early I came back very late I saw my front door closing As I approached the gate I said who could it be I know my baby is still asleep Besides, he looks so short And she's so tall So I went in the house And saw my baby laying there And she was washed in sweat From her head to her toes And she said I was dreaming That I was making sweet love to you And it was good It was so good She said dreaming She said I never had a dream like this before I wanna have it again Tears filled my eyes Because I knew the reason why My baby wanted to have that same dream again But what could I say, nothing Tell me what could I do about it, nothing Because I know I'm doing the same thing to, making love I wonder how would she feel If she ever finds out That I just left the motel too And I was dreaming That I was making sweet love to her And it was good It was so good Dreaming Dreaming How could she made me feel It was good It was so good It was good It was so good So good It was good It was good It was so good Making sweet love to you It was good It was so good Making sweet love to you Baby Oh it was good y'all It was so good Making sweet love to you In my dreams It was so good
