Quiet House

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

Every once in a while
They burst through the doors
Hey Mom, Hey Dad
What's going on?

We'd give anything
To make some noise
And have more time
And share our lives
We still have tears to wipe
And fears to dash
We'd give anything to know we can keep coming back... home
To your quiet house
