Quiet Men Lyrics - Systems Of Romance - Ultravox

Waiting, we were waiting 

As the traffic moved through all our hearts and our heads 

But things were different then 

For the quiet men 

Shifting, things were shifting 

Through the walls and hall, there were no walls at all 

For the quiet friends 

Of the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Springtime, there was sunshine 

Through the window panes, down all the English lanes 

Where they walked again 

The quiet men 

Talking, they were talking 

Of the times to come, and all the time that's gone 

And they smiled again 

The quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Listening, they were listening 

As the season changed and all the reasons changed 

And people came and went 

By the quiet men 

Walking, they were walking 

Through the rainy days, looking at all the faces 

But no-one ever noticed them 

The quiet men 

Oh 

Oh, the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men 

Oh, the quiet men
