[Verse 1] A shirt hangs loose On the kitchen chair A cold cup leaves A faded ring there The old wall clock Forgot the hour Nothing asks Any more of us ⸻ [Verse 2] The little plant Reached past the glass Two paper marks Inside one book A chipped white plate Still on the table Still good enough For one more meal ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The days don’t shine Because they’re rare They shine because They’re simply there ⸻ [Chorus] Quiet days Nothing left To prove at all Evening comes Just like it promised And that’s enough Quiet days ⸻ [Verse 3] A bird’s shadow Crossed the window A distant train Stopped somewhere unseen Someone nearby Is cooking curry The whole street slowly Finds its light ⸻ [Bridge] I quit counting What disappeared Started keeping What remained Small little moments One by one Holding up Another day ⸻ [Final Chorus] Quiet days One beside another Nothing louder Than breathing softly Somewhere nearby Someone’s making dinner The lights come on Quiet days
