The Quiet Life

Woke up on a train Hearing water falling from the dam Rolled the curtains up Looked outside Saw a river running wide It's nearly been two years When I last came here It felt easier Still don't know where I belong Grabbed my bags It won't be long Only visiting I don't live here anymore I don't (I don't) live here anymore But my heart keeps coming back I didn't feel this way before Never felt this way before And I keep on hitting the same old tracks By the river mirror-like I just walked and gazed far On the other side There's the quiet life Where the mighty green-brushed mountains lie And at my mother's place Tears were streaming down her face She looked older than before I would stay and be of help Fixing cupboard doors But I don't live here anymore I don't live here anymore I don't (I don't) live here anymore Though my heart keeps coming back I didn't feel this way before Never felt this way before And I keep on hitting the same old tracks Oh, there's the quiet life Oh, there's the quiet life Oh, there's the quiet life
