lyrics

There was always a reason to wait
There was always a reason to stay
There was always a branch I could bend
There was always a berry I could take
There was always a coat to patch up
There was always a bruise waiting to heal
There was always an ember still aglow
There was always the promise of a meal
But never such quiet and stars
Quiet and stars
Quiet and stars
Quiet and stars
Funny how they fall
How they seem to come on all at once
Or not at all
Aw
There was always better weather up ahead
There was always a friend in a bind
There was always next seasons loves
There was always a lover to leave behind
There was always the same old fear
Never seemed to be a choice
There was always everything I held dear
Then I heard the quiet of your voice
The quiet of your voice
The quiet of your voice
The quiet of your voice
The quiet of your voice
Funny how it goes
The feelings they come on all at once
Or not at all
Aw
But you don't get to choose
Do you?
There was always an exit
There was always a way out of bed
There was always a light in my eyes
There was always a voice in my head
Funny how it goes
The feelings they come on all at once
Or not at all
Aw
But you don't get to choose
Do you?
You don't get to choose
Do you?
