Lyrics
It's a quiet house
The beds are made
And the toys and games have all been neatly packed away
It's a quiet house
The kids are gone
There's no one crying
Nothing breaking
No rushing dawns
But I'd give anything
To hear the noise
And the petty fights
And their wild ways
No more tears to wipe
Or fears to dash
I'd give anything for all that chaos coming back.
It's a quiet house
The table's set for two
No more catches in the backyard
No more tests to do
It's a quiet house
But it's not empty here
Each room is filled with memories
Of what we hold dear
But I'd give anything
To hear the noise
And the petty fights
And their wild ways
No more tears to wipe
Or fears to dash
I'd give anything for all that chaos coming back.
It's a quiet house
