Peace and Quiet

All I want is peace
Peace and quiet
I just need relief
To feel less tired
I want you to hold me until dawn
And I want you to tell me that the best is yet to come
If it’s not the gardener then it’s the mail
Pushing through the door
Broken on the floor
Battered and frail
If it’s not the police it’s the fireman
Blazing down the street
Taking out the heat
Just as fast as he can
If it’s not the children then it’s the bell
Ringing through the day
Kids are running late
And they’re screaming like hell
If it’s not the airplanes
It’s the neighbours’ dogs
Barking up the trees
Tearing up the street then fleeing
Well everyone’s got a song they’re singing today
But all I want is peace
Peace and quiet
I just need relief
To feel less tired
I want you to hold me until dawn
And I want you to tell me that the best is yet to come
But all I want is peace
Peace and quiet
I just need relief
To feel less tired
I want you to hold me until dawn
And I want you to tell me that the best is yet to come
That the best is yet to come
That the best is yet to come
