Quietly

Quietly, her hair falls across her pillow

Quietly, she stirs in the morning light

Quietly, she stares up at the ceiling

Then she sits up and she looks into my eyes

Quietly, she stares out of the window

She glances down into an empty space

Then she turns and looks back at me again

Then quietly, her eyes fill up with tears

Then she brushes her lips across my hand

She stands up and she walks across the floor

Then she stops and looks back at me again

She picks up her things and quietly, she walks out the door

Quietly, I stare into the mirror

There's a man in there I used to know

He's so tired of all her sadness and all of her tears

So quietly now, I'll just let her go

So quietly now, I'll just let her go
