Lovely games of yesterday have left me with my soul today
Simplicity 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 with a quiet beauty of mine

I saw a boy with eyes like fire
I had to look his way
He was swearing like a sailor and demanding his own way

That was when I knew I had to love him
I opened up my sad old eyes and let the feelings run with a quiet beauty of mine

Hey man, sometimes we do bad things and then other times we do good and then sometimes from something very bad comes something very, very good with a quiet beauty of mine
