[Verse] The evening smells of heavy, sweet perfume, Fresh-mown dreams fill the sky above, And right behind the sunset's bloom, The bitten moon ripens like a fruit we love. [Chorus] Quiet and weariness live in my soul, My silent liars, my friends so true. I drink up the silence, taking full control, With a bite of the moon to see me through. [Verse] Sticky visions now melt into sleep, Words and sounds are no longer near. Every evening, my joy is deep, Eating the moon as the shadows clear. [Bridge] The summer rain gave our friends no rest, The noisy day brought a busy crowd, I let pure joy be a welcome guest, And my head spun round and whirled out loud! [Chorus] Quiet and weariness live in my soul, My silent liars, my friends so true. I drink up the silence, taking full control, With a bite of the moon to see me through. Quiet and weariness now fill my soul, The very same liars, silent and gray. I drink up the silence, taking my role, With a bite of the moon to chase day away. I drink up the silence, taking my role, With a bite of the moon to chase day away.
