		Silently, silently (silently)

Verse 2:	On a quiet night
		Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
		I'm lying on my bed
		Scratching my head, wondering what it's about

Chorus 2:	Are we all minstrels
		Playing in a three-ring circus
		Searching for a purpose that's not there
		Silently, silently (silently)
		So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)

		Everybody's drinking
>		F#                   A
		Hurrying, worrying, playing the game

		All acting the same
>		   B       A             G#m   F#m
		As I look out through my windowpane

Verse 3:	On a quiet night
		The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
		Like some unsolved mystery
		We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near
