The Quietude
The Manhattan Transfer

[Foreign Content]


Night calls through the air

Reaching for its solitude

Dusk lures like a lyre

Beckoning the quietude


In a state of constant commotion

Full of rage and heartless devotion

There's a need that burns within

To fly away, just fly away


Soft winds kiss the land

Silent and in gratitude

Children, hand in hand

Comprehend the quietude


Through a maze of fear and compulsion

There's a race for power and fortune

Still a need within cries out

To fly away, just fly away


People rush, people flee

They move so fast that they cannot see

Work all day, up all night

They push and hide all the joy inside


Like a wave that breathes in the ocean

And the mountain's peak with emotion

There's a need that calls within

To find a way, just find a way


Time to leave and fly away

To take a leave and just cast away

To leave the worries and dismay


It's time to go, it's time to play


It's time to leave and fly away

(It's time now to fly away)

To take a leave and just cast away

To leave the worries and dismay

(Take leave and cast away)

It's time to go, it's time to play


It's time to leave and fly away

(To fly)

To take a leave and just cast away

To leave the worries and dismay

It's time to go, it's time to play


It's time to leave and fly away

(The moon, it guides my way)

To take a leave and just cast away

To leave the worries and dismay

(Winds blow to show the way)

It's time to go, it's time to play


It's time to leave and fly away

(To fly)

To take a leave and just cast away


Dawn breaks, day descends

With a calming attitude

Shadows fall and bend

Welcome in the quietude
