She went quietly

Een prachtig nummer van Charlie Winston dat eens te horen was tijdens een aflevering van Grey’s Anatomy. 

She never spoke of feeling sad
Was, oh, so close with the family and friends,
she had around her

But she went quietly
She didn’t make a sound
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found

She went quietly
without a word of where
Just a note that wrote:
“Forgetting is easier”

Years have fallen since the day
she wrote the note and chose to float away
into the Ether
Someone said they saw her south
at the coast on the river’s mouth, 
but only briefly

‘Cause she went quietly
She didn’t make a sound.
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found

She went quietly
without a word of where
Just a note that wrote:
“Forgetting is easier.”

She went quietly
She didn’t make a sound
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found

She went quietly
without a word of where
Just a note that wrote:
“Forgetting is easier.”

Out of the blue, in the pouring rain, 
to my doorstep, old and cold today she came, 
with her story.

I asked her in, but she declined.
Had just one, single thing to get off her mind.
And, that was, “Sorry.”
