I came quietly down the stairs,
Sat down with dawns early light,
Put on the radio
And the almost silent sound greeted me,
The almost silent sound of Satie.
The piano gently playing
Bringing my day to a gentle start.
I sit here writing these words
In the hope that peace and tranquillity
Will stay with me this day
The music was by Eric Satie, Gnossienne No 1.
