Quiet Lyrics - Paul Simon

I am heading for a time of quiet 

When my restlessness is past 

And I can lie down on my blanket 

And release my fists at last

I am heading for a time of solitude 

Of peace without illusions 

When the perfect circle marries 

All beginnings and conclusions 

And when they say 

That you're not good enough 

Well, the answer is 

You're not 

But who are they 

Or what is it 

That eats at what you've got? 

With the hunger of ambition 

For the change inside the purse 

They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends 

Handcuffs on the soul 

And worse

And I am heading for a place of quiet 

Where the sage and sweet grass grow 

By a lake of sacred water 

From the mountain's melted snow
