Dead Of The Night 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

And said he was a drinkin' man

Sometimes in the distance
You can still hear her cry
Breaking the silence

Breaking the silence
In the dead of the night

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
