letra de the quiet wonder - don chaffer

Loading...

i’d shake your hand
if i had one to extend but it was
blown off in the war
the war that ended just a minute ago
when i came in the front door

when i left town
’bout a hundred years ago i didn’t
think i’d lose my way
the kind of losing where you wonder at the end
if you even know your name

i remember the days
when we sang
sang the tunes of the night
with the quiet wonder of
being so near

i understood
that the nature of your smile was always
etched within the frame
of the way that you insisted that you be
and i thought it was a game

now you’re gone
and i’m looking at the ground where you
held us all aloft
and the burdens that you carried like a mule
on your back, tender and soft
all the crazy caravans
the trails of dust and memories
rising like the feathers of a bird
spread the wings, the family
of bleary eyes and hungry for
the promise which will save us in a word
