Four Thousand Days of Quiet Lyrics by Peter Breinholt

2018

So then the bow blew up
And you washed away
Or did you lose your bearings
When someone came
To make the world seem smaller?
But still it calls you
As you turned yourself away
And in the dead of night
When the sky seems near
There are a millions stars
When the air is clear
But then the wind gets warmer
Before the storm
You better find a place to pray
And so my name is real
I took this chance
To find a life that feeds me
A choice, a dance
But if my luck goes under
A roll of thunder
I’m gonna pay a beggar’s price
So leave a window open
And beds unmade
There is an organ working
Behind the stage
There is a
Singer stalling
A crowd that’s calling
And no one to give advice
There you are
You had to go and say what’s on your mind
You have to go and say it every time
So go ahead and say it
So in the case you’re wondering
What took such time
It was a way of keeping
Myself just fine
Four thousand days of quiet
With a world inside it
And a place to call my own
These are dreams
Exactly as they seem
Holding your hands up high
And begging for relief
Don’t turn me home just yet
Don’t turn me home just yet
There you are
You had to go and say what’s on your mind
You have to go and say it every time
So go ahead and say it
Aluminum Man is on the verge
I’d be surprised if he’s not hurt
Tell him the papers got it wrong
Tell him now
Tell him now
Tell him three quarters can’t be wrong
Tell him it’s not a working song
Tell him we listened to his story
Tell him now
Tell him now
Tell him we’re worried for his wife
Pray for an ordinary life
Tell him we’re sorry for his loss
Tell him now
Tell him now
Tell him he’s welcome to the earth
A treaty with man, a second birth
Tell him we’re ready for this story
Tell him now
Tell him
COUNTER MELODY
And so here come the bombs
To the bunker
Its not what it appears
Round here
So near and dear
So go
Up through the town
Into the country
We’re hiding with our kids
That’s it
Don’t quit
Or talk
Back to the egg
It’s hard to argue
With something that we did
Or said
That’s it
SECOND COUNTER MELODY
Please be clear
With exactly what you hear
Don’t travel far just yet
We’re begging for relief
Better to leave this scene
In spite of our beliefs
Holding your hands up high
Is exactly what it seems
