Dead Of The Night lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tammy Cochran Album: Life Happened
Lyrics
A little girl who just turned nine Awakes to another fight She covers her head And closes her eyes
How could the neighbors not have heard Done a thing or said a word What was painfully clear Too often occurred
The rumors started When it all came to an end They blamed it on the bottle and said he was a drinkin' man Sometimes in the distance You can still hear her cry Breaking the silence In the dead of the night
She walks softly down the hall Sees his shadow on the wall Turns the corner Sees her mama fall
Daddy went too far this time Just about to cross that line He never saw it comin' He thought he had that forty-five
The rumors started When it all came to an end They blamed it on the bottle and said he was a drinkin' man Sometimes in the distance You can still hear her cry Breaking the silence In the dead of the night
She didn't chose this life She's a victim of circumstance But she made a choice that night and took the law in her little hands
The rumors started When it all came to an end They blamed it on the bottle and said he was a drinkin' man Sometimes in the distance You can still hear her cry Breaking the silence In the dead of the night
