  • I look in my crystal ball
    And see nothing
    I quietly wish I had it all
    Or at least something

    While the short waves
    Sends chaos around us
    I don't hear a thing
    It's all so quiet in Brooklyn

    If I had a fresh start
    I'd probably fail
    So I drink my coffee
    And open the mail

    Now I hope the cruel words
    In your letter
    Are baptized by my tears
    I would try to make it all better
    But it would take years

    Cause while I've been feeding your ego
    Mine's been wearing thin
    It's all so quiet in Brooklyn

    I'd get lost anywhere
    As long as I'm found
    I could be anyone in any town

    Why is there no one to help me
    Find my way through
    Cause if there was someone to help me
    Maybe I could help you

    Seems everyone's already started
    While I don't know where to begin

    It's all so quiet
    It's all so quiet
    It's all so quiet in Brooklyn Writer/s: Gary Go
