oh silent night
oh holy night
the nights when you lied down
beside me
and i'd be
a beggar by a well
i'd let it all fall down
but i'd never known the sense of home so well
seafoam covered thick with lies
i laid it out to fade off
oh silent night
oh holy night
the nights i hung around
outside til closing time
to drive you back to your house
i let it all fall down
the longing sound is dark house loud
and all the pretty things you said
are still living in my head
but i know the silent night is dead
'cause ghosts come back and visits and sits
on the edge of my bed
yeah he just sits there
yeah he just sits there and reads
