[Verse]
Lovely games of yesterday
Have left me with my soul to pay
Simplicity flies out the door
When people lose their warmth

[Chorus]
That's a very ordinary bummer
I'll hold out for summer days
Stand and laugh and run
With a quiet movie of mine

[Verse]
I saw a girl with eyes like fire
I had to look away
She was swearing like a sailor
And demanding her own way

[Chorus]
That was when I knew I had to love her
I opened up my sad old eyes
And let the feelings run
With a quiet beauty of mine

[Verse]
Maybe sometimes we do bad things
And then other times, we do good
And sometimes from something very bad
Comes something very good
With a quiet beauty of mine
