Lyrics
IN THE QUIET OF THE EVENING
As you breath in the moment,you watch the portrait of the street.
Where are those people going? You wonder who they'll meet?
They dash across your window,they blindly hit your frame,
And you see your own reflection,and hope you're not the same.
Oh,so that's the plan,a vision,framed with hope,and a belief you can.
The endless Simpson Desert,the tiny grains of sand,
You're shifting through the children,of a great Australian land.
You're surfing off the rocks,on a crashing Bondi wave,
You were captured by that dreaming,the vision that it gave.
Oh,so that's the plan,blue sky and sunny hope,and a belief you can.
Oh,so that's the plan,blue sky and sunny hope,and a belief you can.
Come on,now,so I can tell my friends,
How do lives so well constructed,still meet untidy ends?
With rich and famous all around,what wonders you must see?
Your road has led you close to them,how happy you must be.
In the quiet of the evening,with no more to say,
You grab yourself a cool drink,and reflect on your day.
You tried to make a difference,you tried to make it right,
Your tried to set the path,now,towards the shining light.
Oh,so that's the plan,a treasure map,etched in gold,and a belief you can.
Oh,so that's the plan,a treasure map,etched in gold,and a belief we all can.
