Quietly I sit upon the sails
Quietly I wait for morning bells
Quietly I see what you don't tell
In the morning sun will truly rise
In the light hopes and fears will die
In the wild hear a pleasant cry
Walk until our debts are paid in full
Walk until we turn to lovely fools
Walk until the air is nice and cool
Sit and bask in the chilly breeze
Sit and rest tattered toes and knees
Sit and wait then those worries leave
Remember to do just what you're told
Remember not to follow your own soul
Remember we can easily be sold.
By the night these notions will fall
By the night hear the owl's call
By the night discover what you saw
People think flowers are for the spring
People think wasps only sting
People think it's all about the ring
There's a fire that burns inside of us
There's a love better than any lust
There's a home worthy of your trust

Sit and wait then those worries leave
Remember to do just what you're told
Remember not to follow your own soul
Remember we can easily be sold.
By the night these notions will fall
By the night hear the owl's call
By the night discover what you saw
People think flowers are for the spring
People think wasps only sting
People think it's all about the ring
There's a fire that burns inside of us
There's a love better than any lust
There's a home worthy of your trust
