On a silent night in this lonely town
Push my feet on the cold ground Push my feet on the cold ground
Why am I runnin'… wish I knew Why am I runnin '… wish I knew
Fall on my knees to hear angels sing Fall on my knees to hear angels sing
But what they're saying ain't gonna bring But what they're saying is not gonna bring
You any closer, closer to me You any closer, closer to me
On a silent night the streets ring with the sound On a silent night the streets ring with the sound
That echoes around and around That echoes around and around
It's drowning me out It's drowning me out
Just a silent night in the frozen air Just a silent night in the frozen air
There must be carolers somewhere There must be somewhere carolers
Singing Peace on Earth, Good will to men Singing Peace on Earth, Good will to men
Fall on my knees to hear angels sing Fall on my knees to hear angels sing
But what they're saying ain't gonna bring But what they're saying is not gonna bring
You any closer, closer to me You any closer, closer to me
On a silent night the streets ring with the sound On a silent night the streets ring with the sound
That echoes around and around That echoes around and around
It's drowning me out It's drowning me out
A chorus of rhymes over the telephone lines A chorus of rhymes over the telephone lines
A dial tone only reminds me The dial tone only reminds me
I'm so far away from you I'm so far away from you
