Everything Is Quiet Lyrics & Chords By The Panics

Her words are echoing
as i descend stairs
mind your head dear she says
and the dust down there
and i'll bend my back in her basement
come here, no use in useless.
*****
does it make you wonder?
do you hold it closer?
or do you leave it all behind?
Stow away, throw away
because memories will remind.
Here's a portrait wrapped in news print
its like a building boarded
tired and derelict
out of sight, out of mind
these things we will find
makes me pause, gives me shivers.
A picture in a locket
forget me, not forgotten
and everything is quiet.
Stow away, throw away
because memories will remind.
Stow away, throw away and blow away
on the wind they will scatter.
Are we to be remembered
by all the things we treasure?
A memories' a dream
in the eyes of a stranger
In the garden she will tell me how she forgets
her eyes are smiling, she sits and recollect
and then is a moments silence
a photograph in a her hand reminds her
and there's ether in her eyes
Stow away, throw away
because memories will remind.
Stow away, throw away and blow away
on the wind they'll scatter.
and everything is quiet.
and everything is quiet.
