Lyrics:

The world is getting smaller and there's people all around me
Who are eating, sleeping, speaking and it really does astound me
How they spend the whole day talking, I suppose this is their choice
But in the midst of this confusion there's a solitary voice
Peace and quiet, peace and quiet
There's not a lot of it about

I've hardly ever known a moment on my own
When I can sit and think and work things out

Peace and quiet, peace and quiet
It's such a rare commodity

I know somewhere there must be

A country far, a Shangri-La for you and me
I know somewhere there must be

A country far, a Shangri-La for you and me
Peace and quiet
