I needed the quiet to draw me aside

Into the shadows where we could confide

I needed the quiet, though first I repelled

Gently so gently, my pain you upheld

Chorus

And whispered so softly, of spiritual things

weakened in folly, my spirit took wings

Verse 2

From depths never dreamed of, when active the day (You loved me so deeply, it pulled me away)

From lost and longing for meaningless flight (From unkind days, ungenerous and trite)

Away from the bustle, where all the day long

I hurried and worried, when active and strong

Chorus

you whispered so softly, of spiritual things

weakened in folly, my spirit took wings

Bridge

To heights never dreamed of, when active the day

You loved me so greatly, it pulled me away

Pulled me away

Verse 3

I needed the quiet, from a mystery dread (A beautiful tally, of blessings instead)

A place to grow riches, in heaven they hide (I needed the quiet to draw me aside)

Away from the shadows of inactive days

You loved me so deeply, it pulled me away

I needed the quiet to make things right

I needed the quiet to make things right

Make things right
