The Quiet One (In Memory Of George Harrison)

The quiet one has grown silent now
All his petals have fallen to the ground
The day has quickly turned to night
Now we'll no longer hear the sound
Of a lonely broom sweeping
Of a guitar gently weeping
Anymore

The spotlight cast you in two shadows
Still you found an inner light
To walk you through this weary world
As you prayed with all you might
For another sun to be coming
A long, cold, lonely winter to be running
Into spring

Within you, without you
You gave love, you gave love
the only way you knew how
Knowing the only true moment
we have is now

You found yourself in your garden
At peace with the flowers and the rain
Digging through dirt for a simple life
That would leave the yoke of fame
Far behind that locked door
For you bit straight to the apple core
And it was all too much

So the quiet one has grown silent now
But his voice will still echo like mystic waterfalls
The song he chose to sing to his sweet lord
Awaiting on his call
And he happily accepted when it came at last
For he knew all things must pass
He knew all things must pass away

All things must pass away
