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 shadows on the wall Turns the corner Sees her mama fall Daddy went too far this time He's 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 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 Breaking the silence In the dead of the night © WB MUSIC CORP.; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
