Quiet Eyes Songtext
von Sharon Van Etten

Moving statues in the park
Mosaic faces fading in the rain
Recalling memories of loss
Yet untouched and unscathed

Is this really a mystery life
Where we only learn from our own mistakes?
Misstep, fall down stairs
Maybe you′re too wise for me


Your quiet eyes break my heart now
You're calling out, you′re calling out despite it
A long car drive, music in air
Comes from a place out of nowhere

Staring at stars or a lightning bug
On a faraway stair, on a torchlit night
The field of depth on those marble steps
We'll meet again in light

That's how it′s done, that′s how it's done
And how it′s undone
That's how it starts, that′s how it starts
And how it's unknown


Fall, fall
Calling out in spite of it all
Fall, fall
Will we meet again in the light?
