I look in my crystal ball
And see nothing
I quietly wish I had it all
Or at least somethingWhile the short waves
Sends chaos around us
I don't hear a thing
It's all so quiet in BrooklynIf I had a fresh start
I'd probably fail
So I drink my coffee
And open the mailNow I hope the cruel words
In your letter
Are baptised by my tears
I would try to make it all better
But it would take yearsCause while I've been feeding your ego
Mine's been wearing thin
It's all so quiet in BrooklynI'd get lost anywhere
As long as I'm found
I could be anyone in any townWhy is there no one to help me
Find my way through
Cause if there was someone to help me
Maybe I could help youSeems everyone's already started
While I don't know where to beginIt's all so quiet
It's all so quiet
It's all so quiet in Brooklyn
