Peaceful
Georgie Fame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will be drinking any more wine
I'll wake the sun up by givin' him
A fresh air full of the wind cup
And I won't be found in the shadows hiding sorrow
And I can wait for fate to bring around to me
Any part of my tomorrow, tomorrow
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathing in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here
In the evening shadows are callin' me
And the dew settles in my mind
And I think of friends in the yesterday
When my plans were giggled in rhyme
I had a son while on the run
And his love brought a tear to my eye
And maybe some day he'll up and say
"We had a pretty nice time"
Oh my, oh my
Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathing in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here
The song "Peaceful" by Georgie Fame is a reflective and introspective song that touches on themes of peace, freedom, and contentment. The lyrics speak of the morning sun and waking it up with a fresh burst of air, free from the burden of sorrow and worry. There is a sense of detachment and liberation from the world, where the singer declares that he can wait for fate to bring him anything tomorrow holds. The verses also touch on the memories of friends and the past, where the vocalist looks back to a time when things were simpler and his plans were full of creative possibilities.
The chorus of "Peaceful" emphasizes the peacefulness the singer feels in his current state. He is free from any pressure or judgments from others, there is nobody breathing down his neck, and he is content with the solitude he finds himself in. The vocal performance is smooth and soothing, perfectly matching the relaxed vibe of the song.

In the morning sun when no one
At dawn when nobody is around
Will be drinking anymore wine
There won't be any more wine left to drink
I'll wake the sun up by givin' him
I'll wake up early and enjoy the morning breeze
A fresh air full of the wind cup
I'll breathe in the fresh morning air
And I won't be found in the shadows hiding sorrow
I won't be feeling sad or hiding from anyone
And I can wait for fate to bring around to me
I can be patient and let destiny bring me whatever comes next
Any part of my tomorrow, tomorrow
I'm not worried about tomorrow and I'll face it when I get there
Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
This place is very calm and relaxing
No one bendin' over my shoulder
I have nobody pressuring or monitoring me
Nobody breathing in my ear
Nobody is whispering in my ear or distracting me
In the evening shadows are callin' me
At dusk, the shadows are inviting me to rest and reflect
And the dew settles in my mind
The dew that settles in the evening makes me thoughtful
And I think of friends in the yesterday
I reminisce about the friends I had in the past
When my plans were giggled in rhyme
When my goals were more playful and carefree
I had a son while on the run
I had a child while I was still young and active
And his love brought a tear to my eye
My child's love for me made me emotional
And maybe someday he'll up and say
Maybe someday my child will surprise me and say
"We had a pretty nice time"
"We had a good time together"
Oh my, oh my
Expressing surprise or amazement
Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
This place is very calm and relaxing
No one bendin' over my shoulder
I have nobody pressuring or monitoring me
Nobody breathing in my ear
Nobody is whispering in my ear or distracting me
Oh, so peaceful here
This place is so calming and relaxing

Yes, the original was released in the UK on the CBS label, in the early summer of 1969. One of a number of tracks that are redolent of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Radio Luxembourg played it to death throughout July 1969.
Tommy Donovan
