Quiet Invitation

Verse
Again we meet, on this same street,
is this chance or inclination
Your laugh, your glance, lead a soft advance,
a whisper of your quiet invitation

Chorus
I breath out slowly and I wait for inspiration 
the pull is strong, the message clear,
I know what's wrong, and it's what I fear,
the calling of the quiet invitation

Final Verse (not included in the recording)
Again we meet, on this same street,
this is no random destination
I heard the call, and now I fall
and came to answer your quiet invitation

Title: Quiet Invitation

Box 1
We meet again.  I'm starting to think these aren't chance encounters and you're sending off signals that I'm hearing as a quiet invitation to something more.

Box 2
I need to turn down the noise and chaos this invitation is creating in my head.  Hug my kids and wife, turn up the volume in my life, to turn down the disturbance of this quiet invitation.

Box 3
We meet again.  This time I know it's not chance encounter since I made sure it happened.  I feel myself giving in and answering your quiet invitation.

Quiet Invitation

Quiet Invitation

Verse 1:
Here we meet, on this plain street,
is this chance or inclination
Your laugh, your glance, lead a soft advance,
and whisper a quiet invitation

Chorus:
I breath out slowly and I wait for inspiration
the pull is strong, the message clear.
I know what's wrong, and it's what I fear,
the calling of the quiet invitation

Second Verse:
So I raise the noise, hold my wife and boys,
I don't really want this complication
but no life lived loud, can still the sound
and thunder of a quiet invitation

Bridge
So walk away, please walk away
there's so much here to lose
So walk away, please just walk away
feet take the road my love's too weak to choose

Final Verse:
Again we meet, on this same street,
this is no random destination
I heard your call, and now do I fall
to the power of your quiet invitation
