Beautiful Racket
(专辑: Between Here And Gone - 2004)
So your day begins like this Wondering what might have been Old regrets and chances missed Borne away on some lambent wind The
job's ok, so it doesn't inspire Thoughts of leaving it all behind You used to have dreams of settin the
world on fire All you want now is peace of mind And a
beautiful racket, it whispers and roars The
bitter and sweet, between the
truces and the
wars The
noise and the
quiet, the
courage and the
fear And all of the
wisdom between a
smile and a
tear You do your dreaming in traffic jams You do your running in shopping malls You do your breathing the
best you can Between car pools and cell phone calls Who cares, you'll never live in Paris So what, you'll never travel by Lear How do some of us learn what matters While others never get to hear And a
beautiful racket, it whispers and roars The
bitter and sweet, between the
truces and the
wars The
noise and the
quiet, the
courage and the
fear And all of the
wisdom between a
smile and a
tear Hold on, hold on So your day will end like this Turning slowly down your street Silent worlds of kitchens lit Front yards full of fallen leaves Trees are bare, the
garden's done Another season gone to earth Before you blink a
new one comes To remind you what the
old one's worth And a
beautiful racket, it whispers and roars The
bitter and sweet, between the
truces and the
wars The
noise and the
quiet, the
courage and the
fear And all of the
wisdom between a
smile and a
tear Such a
beautiful racket...such a
beautiful racket... Hold on...such a
beautiful racket...hold on...
