[Lyric] Beside the Shuttered Doors (David Berkeley)

The city is silent like a ghost on the cobblestones
Even the church bells do not ring

The winds they are blowing off the coast down the alleyways
Sweeping beside the shuttered doors

Oh quiet world, maybe now we’ll know what we really need
I need to know you’re fine

I couldn’t see it all before
We couldn’t see we wanted more

After it all may we not be the same
Yeah when we come back may wе come back changed
Let us bе washed in the pouring rain

Now all we want to know is when
This too shall pass
And when we can be who we used to be

Cause we don’t know how to bow or bend
Until things really get bad
Maybe it’s time at last
I couldn’t see it all before
We couldn’t see we wanted more

After it all may we not be the same
Yeah when we come back may we come back changed
Let us be washed in the pouring rain

Last night the moon rose over balconies
All silver and wise
Ever the quiet face of change

If we can get through this then maybe
We can get through it all
Give us another chance

I couldn’t see it all before
We couldn’t see we wanted more

After it all may we not be the same
Yeah when we come back may we come back changed
Let us be washed in the pouring rain
Oh quiet world, maybe we can change
