What a quiet girl that is standing there
Holding a carpet on the stairs of the cottage?
The summer sun gilds the logs of the wall
And the peonies hang their flowers
Outside
You asked to listen
When the elevators spoke the language of elevators
For us, it's noisy
Outside
When the journey slows down
We did the edge of town
Towards the center
I met you through work
Once a week we sat for coffee
I learned to be quiet when you ate bread
So that you don't accidentally go down the wrong throat
Outside
You asked to listen
When the elevators spoke the language of elevators
For us, it's noisy
Outside
When the journey slows down
We did the edge of town
Towards the center
You once talked about how
You would like to leave in peace
How at night when you have a beautiful dream
An angel would quietly take you away
Outside
You asked to listen
When the elevators spoke the language of elevators
For us, it's noisy
Outside
When that journey slows down
We did on the edge of town
Towards the center
Outside
Outside
The elevators spoke the language of elevators
For us, it's noisy
Outside
When that journey slows down
We did on the edge of town
Towards the center
Woo-woo-woo
