A Quiet Thing Lyrics

A Quiet Thing lyrics

When it all comes true

Just the way you planned

It's funny but the
bells don't ring

It's a quiet thing

When you hold the world 

In your trembling hand

You think you'd hear a choir singing

But
it's a quiet thing

There are no exploding fireworks

Where's the
boring of the crowds

Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere

Way up
here among the clouds



There won't be trumpets or balls of fire

To say he's coming,

No roman candles, no angel's choir

No sound of
distant drumming,

He may not be the cavalier

Tall and graceful, fair
and strong,

Doesn't matter just as long as he

Comes along



But not with trumpets or lightning flashing

Or shining armor,

He
may be daring, he may be dashing

Or maybe he's a farmer,

I can
wait, what's another day?

He has lots of hills to climb

And a hero
doesn't come till

The nick of time



Don't look for trumpets
or whistles tooting

To guarantee him,

There won't be trumpets, but
sure as shooting

You'll know him when you see him



Don't know
when, don't know where,

I can't even say that I care

All I know is
the minute you turn

And he's suddenly there

There won't be
trumpets

There are no trumpets

Who needs trumpets?

Happiness
comes in on tiptoe

Well what d'ya know

It's a quiet thing

A
very quiet thing
