lovely games of yesterday
have left me with my soul today
felicity flies out the door
when people lose their warmth
that's a very ordinary bummer
i'll hold out for summer days
stand and laugh and run
in a quiet movie of mine
i saw a girl with eyes like fire
i had to look away
she was swearing like a sailor
and demanding her own way
that was when i knew i had to love her
i opened up my sad old eyes
and let the feelings run
with a quiet beauty of mine
maybe sometimes we do bad things
and then other times we do good
and sometimes from something very bad
comes something very good
in a quiet year of mine
