Nightingale - The little girl Lyrics

The little girl was hiding under her blanket
She was crying in silence
Her father was screaming at her mother
He was once again wasted drunk (he was wasted drunk)

Her mother begged him to stop
Said he would wake up the children
But that didn't stop him
Insted he got more and more aggressive
(More and more agressive)

The little girl was so afraid
Heard her father being really mean to her mother
She wanted to help her
But she was just five years old (she was just five years old)

After a while
She heard a heavy noice
Something broke into pieces (broke into pieces)
Her father was shouting really awful words
And her mother started to cry louder
The little girl prayed to the lord (She prayed to the lord)
Prayed the lord could stop it all

The little girl was so afraid
Heard her father being really mean to her mother
She wanted to help her
But she was just five years old (she was just five years old)

The mother came into her room
Afraid that the fight had woken up her baby girl
She kissed her forehead an pulled up the blanket a little more
Relived that she was sleeping

The little girl was so afraid
Heard her father being really mean to her mother
She wanted to help her
But she was just five years old (she was just five years old)

But the little girl wasn't sleeping at all
She just pretended
Afraid to show that she was awake
Even though she just wanted to hug her mother
And feel safe (wanted to feel safe)

The morning after in the livingroom
The little girl saw a broken ashplate, cigarett butts allover the floor
An empty liquor bottle and several beer cans
Once again the tears in her eyes welled up

She loved her father (she loved her father)
But at the same time she was affraid of him
Couldn't understand why he was acting like a devil in the nighttime
She was just a little girl, wanting to feel safe
(just wanted to feel safe)
She was just five yers old
(She was just five years old)
