Nothing but Foghorns


Waking up the past few mornings to the sound of the foghorns on the ferry put me in mind of one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite singers, the genius, Van Morrison.

SO QUIET IN HERE by Van Morrison


Foghorns blowing in the night

Salt sea air in the morning breeze

Driving cars all along the coastline

This must be what it's all about

Oh this must be what it's all about

This must be what paradise is like

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here



The warm look of radiance on your face

And your heart beating close to mine

And the evening fading in the candle glow

This must be what it's all about

Oh this must be what it's all about

This must be what paradise is like

So quiet in here. so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, yeah, so peaceful in here


All my struggling in the world

And so many dreams that don't come true

Step back, put it all away

It don't matter, it don't matter anymore

Oh this must be what paradise is like

This must be what paradise is like

It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here

It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here


A glass of wine with some friends

Talking into the wee hours of the dawn

Sit back and relax your mind

This must be, this must be, what it's all about

This must be what paradise is like


Oh this must be what paradise is like

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

Big ships out in the night

And we're floating across the waves

Sailing for some other shore

Where we can be what we wanna be

Oh this must be what paradise is like

This must be what paradise is like

Baby it's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, so peaceful in here

So quiet in here, you can hear, it's so quiet
