lyrics

Quiet in your arms
Words & music by: Michael Murphy

Why do you keep saying those things to me
Why do you keep putting yourself down
Don’t you know what you’re worth
Well I know what you’re worth to me
Just let it be

I’m so tired of these social graces
Happy hour, cocktail faces throw up conversations
Everyone’s gone high-class prostitution
Commitment’s not the end for me
And our love can break this reverie

I’ll take you in my arms tonight
Take you in my arms tomorrow
So quiet that head down
Quiet that head down
Surrender to my arms tonight
I'll still be holding you tomorrow
So quiet that head down
Quiet that head down
Down

Still remember how we walked along the street and
We'd buy flowers for your room
You looked good in the sunlight
Oh I love the way your teeth touch
When your lips stretch out to smile
Your eyes still find a way to mess me up
I could wake up to their light every morning
So forget all your fears just come over here

I’ll take you in my arms tonight
Take you in my arms tomorrow
Quiet that head down
Surrender to my arms tonight
I'll still be holding you tomorrow
So quiet that head down
Quiet that head down
Down

I can still feel your voice
Gently singing on my back
On the side of the curb
That warm, humid night
I almost stopped to breathe
You soothed my soul
You soothe my soul

So take me in your arms tonight
Take me in your arms tomorrow
Quiet that head down
Quiet that head down
