The city is silent like a ghost on the cobblestones.
Even the church bells do not ring.
The winds they are blowing off the coast down the alleyways,
Sweeping beside the shuttered doors.
Oh quiet world, maybe now we'll know what we really need.
I need to know you're fine.
I couldn't see it all before.
We couldn't see we wanted more.
Cfter it all may we not be the same.
Yeah when we come back may we come back changed.
Let us be washed in the pouring rain.
Now all we want to know is when
This too shall pass,
Cnd when we can be who we used to be.
Cause we don't know how to bow or bend
Until things really get bad.
Maybe it's time at last.
I couldn't see it all before.
We couldn't see we wanted more.
Cfter it all may we not be the same.
Yeah when we come back may we come back changed.
Let us be washed in the pouring rain.
Last night the moon rose over balconies
Cll Silver and wise.
Ever the quiet face of change.
If we can get through this then maybe
We can get through it all.
Give us another chance.
I couldn't see it all before.
We couldn't see we wanted more
Cfter it all may we not be the same.
Yeah when we come back may we come back changed.
Let us be washed in the pouring rain.
Oh quiet world, maybe we can change.
