Lyrics

"Quiet Place" (Honorary Award Winner in the Great American Songwriting Contest, 2007- adult contemporary)
lyrics and music by Gail Vareilles and Tommy Faragher A,Ac

Everybody's out tonight
It's such a restless sight
I hear the bums on bended knee call out to me
I smell the cheap gins
Dripping down their chins
And no one looks up at all to see the sky

Then like a shuttle I'm off in space
I'm trying to find a quiet place
Hanging on to a shooting star
In my mind I go so far
When I come back down
Like a feather without a sound
I'll be in a quiet place

I see you charge on in
It's a war you've got to win
I hear the words cut so deep that I can't sleep
I smell tequila and tittie bars
The fumes from fast cars
And I'm too far down to see the sky

CHORUS

Bridge: I won't let the noise around
Deafen me and bring me down
I'll take that long sweet ride

Cause it'll be the beach I see
The seagulls flying free
And the waves I hear crashing on the pier
It's the sea I smell
Salt taffy and caramel
The flashing of a shiny fin
fish jumping up and diving in
The bright silvery moon lighting up the sky

CHORUS
