Bill Nelson

Quiet Planet

Wide awake and breathing deep
The whole damn world is fast asleep
Constellations spin and fall
Far above, beyond it all
Breathing in and breathing out
Finding faith, losing doubt
Thinking hard and fast and clear
Shining like a chandelier...
It's O.K. if no-one understands it...
Beyond this atmosphere
Another quiet planet...
Seize the moment, pass the time
Paint a picture, pour the wine
Sailboat in a sea of blue
Sinking at the thought of you...
Lost horizon, far and near
Coming closer, never fear
Build it big and build it bold
paint it turquoise, paint it gold...
It's O.K. if no-one understands it...
Beyond this atmosphere, another
Another quiet planet...
