Lyrics
You didn't hear me leave today
We don't have much to say
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
I tried to keep the faucet low
I barely let the water flow
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
Quiet water come cleanse my soul
Quiet water please make me whole
Wash away the part of me
The part of me that used to be you
I took the robe you wouldn't use
The color that you'd never choose
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
I hate the things I left behind
But mostly I just left my mind
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
Quiet water don't let him in
Quiet water absolve my sin
Cleanse away the heart of me
The heart of me that used to be his
The windows shook with gentle rain
As sex with you washed down the drain
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
I'll bet you don't know why I've gone
In fact, I'll bet you sing along
Oooh, oooh, quiet water
Quiet water come cleanse my soul
Quiet water please make me whole
Wash away the part of me
The part of me that used to be you
