Silent Night (After The Fight)

(album: Milsap Magic - 1980)

Hear the rain on the window; I never noticed it so loud
And the ticking of the clock is making wall-shaking sounds
Was that noise just the icebox or you turning on the light?
3 AM as a fool tries to tell himself that you'll be back tonight

Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door

I never knew a heartbeat could keep someone so wide awake
And when that board creaks in the hallway, I can see my mind about to break
Lying here without you the silence is so loud that I can't sleep
But the loudest sounds of all are the teardrops dripping down my cheek

Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
Can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
