Be Quiet Mind - Lynn Anderson

(Please be quiet, mind

I want to go to sleep now)

Every night and every day

You go on the same old way

Do you have to keep reminding me he’s gone now?

And you’re saying I was wrong

But I knew that all along

So be quiet, mind

We’ve stayed away too long now

Now that he’s no longer mine

You think of him all the time

If you let me be

I might forget him somehow

Yes, I’ve lost my love, it’s true

Do I have to lose you too?

Please be quiet, mind

I want to go to sleep now

Well, it’s almost breaking dawn

Must he still go on and on

We’ll just have to learn to get along without him

For the only thing you do is to drive me out of you

So be quiet, mind

Let’s hear no more about him

Now that he’s no longer mine

Please be quiet, mind

I want to go to sleep now
