light in the hall - fred small lyrics

Loading...

there’s a light in the hall
there’s a crack in the doorway
lets it into my room
tells me everything
tells me everything

i curl up in a ball
try to slide in the crack
between the bed and the wall
i am falling
i am falling

daddy, they’ll know
i’ll walk funny
and they’ll know i’ve been bad
daddy, please don’t
please don’t
please don’t

i’m shaking all over
i squeeze my legs together
just as tight as i can
you can’t
you can’t
you can’t
okay, okay, okay

i see the tree through the window
the tree is my friend
i see the moon through the clouds
and the stars without end
i am flying away
i am dying

is there a cradle big enough for this little girl
it wouldn’t have to be so very big
for a girl and a teddy bear
and a patchwork quilt
it’s waiting somewhere for me

don’t you tell anyone
if you know what’s good for you
and your little sister
don’t you love your sister
and who would believe you
just a little girl with a big imagination
everyone knows me
i’m an important man

i get ready for school
my hair is brushed and pulled tight in a bow
but i am dirty
i am dirty
mommy puts on my coat
red and purple blotches up and down my legs
she won’t look at me
she won’t look at me

i will run to the park
i will climb on the swing
i will swing so high
up above everything
till a cloud takes me away

is there a cradle big enough for this little girl
it wouldn’t have to be so very big
for a girl and a teddy bear
and a patchwork quilt
it’s waiting somewhere for me

now i am grown
on a silver chain i wear a pretty stone
a friend gave me to say she loves me
and to say i can love
and to say i am worthy of it
it is not easy
it is not easy

sometimes i scream
sometimes i weep
like the little girl i never was
i never was
i tell the story

somebody stole my life
but i’m taking it back
i can see colors
i can see colors now

tracing the truth
through the tangle of lies
forgiving myself what i did to survive
i am living
i am living

is there a cradle big enough for this little girl
it wouldn’t have to be so very big
for a girl and a teddy bear
and a patchwork quilt
it’s waiting somewhere for me
