Paroles de Florida

I went down to see some family in the Keys
The bars on the coast
Made it gleam like silver ghosts were over me
In a dream, I was looking still for sleep
I went down to see some family in the Hills
The dogs in the street
Wouldn’t cram one single quiet night of peace
In a dream, I was looking still for sleep

I found quiet in you
You, quiet in you
I found quiet in you, you

There’s complications from the living, it’s all fate
You never work as hard
In understanding the true nature of the thing
For a while, I was lost in conversations with myself
As one is when pretending it’ll all work out in time
Awaiting your reward
It’s the sole preoccupation of the meek
In my dreams, I was looking still for sleep

I found quiet in
You, quiet in you
I found quiet in you, you
I found quiet in
You, quiet in you
I found quiet in you, you
