| Baby Girl |
| They say the crib was in the corner hall In the room next to the old oak tree Shadows creep into the room each night Thoughtless reminders of what happened there Ever searching for some closure A broken Mother's heart still remembers From her padded room she shrieks her rage At the memories that refuse to leave Baby Girl What has happened to you here? So many sights and sounds have passed since you were near Sightless eyes, are they yours or are they mine? Baby Girl They say he came home drunk one night The blood of hate burning loose inside his veins Vodka high heard baby's cry deep in the night And he decided he didn't like that cry at all Baby Girl What has happened to you here? In Mother's arms, drowning in her tears Shattered voice, nothing more than silent noise Baby Girl Broken mirror holds jagged little pieces Serrated time frozen for a moment Dolls head lolls off to one side Mirror image of the girl who died that night Now mother clutches doll close, won't let her go The rocking horse the only witness to the crime Murder foul, all alone, all is dead 'Cause Mother got her revenge in the end Baby Girl What has happened to you here? So many sights and sounds, the future was so clear Blood-stained eyes, glued open wide Baby Girl |
