On a park bench The old man sat and stared into yesterday I sat down beside him Said thank God for this quiet place Between the wife and the kids The TV and the phone It seems there's something always goiing wrong He said son if you think this is quiet You should follow me home
'Cause you ain't heard nothing yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where your babies have slept So don't wish for something You will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothing yet
The old man kept talkin' Paintin' pictures from his memories Did he drag out his past for himself Or was it for me His eyes came alive
He spoke of dancin' with his wife And playin' ball with his two little boys He said son What I hear is music you're callin' noise
'You ain't heard nothin' yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where you're babies have slept So don't wish for something You will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet
We'll all rest in peace On that you can bet 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet
