Quiet Town Lyrics by Robbie Schaefer

Robbie Schaefer Live at Schubas 07/31/2005

2008

So I climb up on the rooftop
And I whisper a secret
From my lips to my ears
‘Cause I’m the only who’ll keep it
Besides the man in living room
He’s the gentlest companion
For twenty-seven years now
That’s where he’s been standing
This is a quiet town
And everyone knows almost everything
From the whisper of the moment to the rumor of the hour
And I swear one day I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna talk a little louder
Doors are made for locking
Curtains made for windows
Honey don’t you answer
They’ll probably go away soon
But now the cop is looking at me
Says he’s taking a collection
And he’s winking at his partner
He says we’re here for your protection
This is a quiet town
And everyone knows almost everything
From the whisper of the moment to the rumor of the hour
And I swear one day I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna talk a little louder
This town is full of fences
Shadowbox and picket
Good for keeping out a stranger
Good for keeping in a secret
Now supper’s on the table
And when we’re done we’ll share another cigarette
We’ll sit out on the back porch
And say it ain’t even summer yet
This is a quiet town
And everyone knows almost everything
From the whisper of the moment to the rumor of the hour
And I swear one day I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna climb up on this rooftop
I’m gonna talk a little louder
