lyrics

I'm not the Jesus you think I am
You saw me walking on the water
The river froze behind the house
And I miss my only daughter

There'll be no miracle at Christmastime
There'll be nobody in the den
Sometimes we regret the things we say and do
Wish you were here sweet Madeleine

On this silent night
All those angry fights that we had
Come back and haunt me like a ghost from Christmas past
And now I wish I could take it all back

There'll be no snow tonight on Christmas Eve
Just dead leaves in the yard
And the smell of someone burning wood
And my old weathervane standing guard

I wish I'd taught you how to listen
Instead I taught you about spite
I never said that I was perfect
I never said I'd get it right

On this silent night
All those angry fights that we had
Come back and haunt me like a ghost from Christmas past
And now I wish I could take it all back

The fire's burnt its way to embers
I'll be heading upstairs soon
Even though it's only seven
And stay in bed all afternoon

On this silent night
All those angry fights that we had
Come back and haunt me like a ghost from Christmas past
And now I wish I could take it all back
