Tom Martin - Quiet Songs Lyrics

I played in the electric band
I took the breaks and took the hand
And all my moves were incomplete
Rock n' roll was my defeat

But do not turn your back on me
Because I sing so quietly
Just give me time to fill your heart
With memories when we're apart

So I have chosen quiet songs
To justify my rights and wrongs
I'll sing them all for you to hear
And sing them best when you are near

I played a concert on the stage
The songs you heard were on the page
That told the story over me
A document of melody

I left alone into the night
The songs were good
The time was right
I wish that you had been there
I guess I did begin in there

So I have chosen quiet songs
To justify my rights and wrongs
I'll sing them for you to hear
And sing them best when you are near
