Manhattan Transfer - The Quietude lyrics

[Foreign Content] Night calls through the air Reaching for its solitude Dusk lures like a lyre Beckoning the quietude In a state of constant commotion Full of rage and heartless devotion There's a need that burns within To fly away, just fly away Soft winds kiss the land Silent and in gratitude Children, hand in hand Comprehend the quietude Through a maze of fear and compulsion There's a race for power and fortune Still a need within cries out To fly away, just fly away People rush, people flee They move so fast that they cannot see Work all day, up all night They push and hide all the joy inside Like a wave that breathes in the ocean And the mountain's peak with emotion Still a need within cries out To find a way, just find a way Time to leave and fly away To take a leave and just cast away To leave the worries and dismay It's time to go, it's time to play It's time to leave and fly away (It's time now to fly away) To take a leave and just cast away To leave the worries and dismay (Take leave and cast away) It's time to go, it's time to play It's time to leave and fly away (To fly) To take a leave and just cast away To leave the worries and dismay It's time to go, it's time to play It's time to leave and fly away (The moon, it guides my way) To take a leave and just cast away To leave the worries and dismay (Winds blow to show the way) It's time to go, it's time to play It's time to leave and fly away (To fly) To take a leave and just cast away Dawn breaks, day descends With a calming attitude Shadows fall and bend Welcome in the quietude [Foreign Content]
