Kurt Elling — All Is Quiet lyrics

Lyrics

Meet me in a shadow land of quiet.
Speak to me of loving. But speak low to me — in a whisper.
Whispers open magical doors if you let them —
Opening to hidden rooms full of color —
In shades like marc Chagall.
These days, everybody speaks of love so loud.
They shout, as if love were something owed them —
Like something they can order around —
Like something that comes when called.
Let your body fall away in quiet,
Knowing loving grows over time, like a tree in the
forrest.
Your face is as lovely as sleep — faint with stillness.
I can smell the summer there in your tangled hair.
It folds me in a dream.
The reverie of silence — here in the hidden constellation
Joining the twilight sky, like starry bright —
We’re soaring over everything, like birds in flight,
Into the quiet night.
We’re allowed (aloud)
for all is quiet now
