Too Quiet (original)

Here is a song that I recently entered in the Steemit Open Mic contest. I uploaded a previous version of it awhile back, but haven't actually uploaded this version that I used on one of my CDs. So, here it is. It is undoubtedly flawed but I'm okay with it.

Sitting alone at night.. looking out the window at the stars.. it can make you think.

Lyrics

It's too quiet in this house
with my sweet angels fast asleep
I'm alone here in this room
and all my thoughts are rumbling deep

There's a window by my side,
Lady Moon is smiling high
and as I gaze into the night
these raging questions flood my mind

I see the stars there
swirling round
and how I wonder
what we really are

I sing my questions
to the skies
and wait for answers
I know that I can't find
(I can't find)

My head is spinning like a dream
it won't slow down for anything
this life is bigger than we are
and all the clouds and trees and stars

So, I'm sitting in this house
shades of starlight in my head
when I should just run straight to bed
and pile the pillows over my head

But I see the stars there
swirling round
and how I wonder
just what we really are

I sing my questions to the skies
and wait for answers
I know that I can't find

I can't find
