The Noise

Rachel Proctor

I've never really heard the sound
 Of the rain as it falls down
 As it hits the ground
 It's never been so loud
 I've never listened to this house
 The way I'm listening to it now
 It's so quiet here
 I could almost drown

 In the noise
 In the noise
 Of the absence of your voice

 Floorboards creaking in the hall
 Old clock ticking on the wall
 It never stops
 Wind blows through the broken trees
 Seems just like it speaks to me
 But I can't hear it

 For the noise
 Oh the noise 
 Of the absence of your voice

 Run to the window
 No one's there
 Call down the hall and up the stairs
 Maybe you're in the bedroom sleeping
 Open the door I can't believe you're
 Gone
 You're gone

 Oh, oh
 Oh the noise
 Oh the noise
 Oh the noise
 Of the absence of your voice
 Oh
 I could almost drown
 In the noise
 Oh yeah
 In the noise
