God its hot in this house
Body clings to your blouse
Let me bathe your red skin
Before your father comes in
All your little scars are
Raised and bloody
Lizzie don't make a sound
For we mustn't be found
Come lie with me
But don't let him see
All our pure white sheets are
Wet and bloody
Oh hush little one
A time will come
When we can run away
Lizzie what did he do?
What has he done to you?
I heard you calling to me
"Quick Maggie come see"
All our little birds are
Dead and bloody
Oh hush little one
A time will come
When we can run away
In the morning was heard
A sweet voice like a bird
Then a scream rang aloud
As the sky grew dark with cloud
Your mother and your father
Cold and bloody
Lizzie hush and don't tell
Where you were when they fell
In the still of the night
In my arms so tight
All our little secrets
Dark and bloody
Oh hush little one
A time will come
When we can run away
