Abigail - Uninvited Guest

Hush little baby…

(Hush little baby)

Don’t say a word…

(Don't say a word)

Hush little baby…

(Hush little baby)

Don’t say a word…

(Don't say a word)

She cries alone inside her head

Can’t shake the memories from her head

He always called her his princess

She was the one he loved the best

Her mother never saw the signs

Although it happened many times

She was too busy with the chores

She said she couldn’t see the doors

Just like placing her dolls in rediculous poses

She told her secret without uttering a word

Just like placing the dolls…

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

Don’t blame yourself for what your daddy did!

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

You were just a child, only just a kid!

Please Abigail, my Abigail!

I can’t empathize but I can understand!

You’re older now, you survived somehow

He was not a man, you are safe here in my hands!

Hush little baby…

(Hush little baby)

Don’t say a word…

(Don't say a word)

Little children chasing…

(Little children chasing)

But never heard…

(Never, ever…)

The truth lies thick upon the ground

Your family circle broken down

Accusing eyes stare in distrust

As if you made the whole thing up

They really care, make no mistake

But it hurts him too, it’s hard to take

They feel disgust, they feel the shame

But you are not the one to blame

Just like placing her dolls in rediculous poses

She told her secret without uttering a word

Just like placing the dolls…

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

Don’t blame yourself for what your daddy did!

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

You were just a child, only just a kid!

Please Abigail, my Abigail!

I can’t empathize but I can understand!

You’re older now, you survived somehow

He was not a man, you are safe here in my hands!

You remember the relentless ticking

Of the clock on the walls

Or the descent of the gentle footsteps

Coming down the hall

I know it must be hard to say

This is very hard to hear

But now that you’re older now

And you’re not his little girl anymore

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

Don’t blame yourself for what your daddy did!

Abigail, sweet Abigail!

You were just a child, only just a kid!

Please Abigail, my Abigail!

I can’t empathize but I can understand!

You’re older now, you survived somehow

He was not a man, you are safe here in my hands!

Don’t blame yourself for what your daddy did!

My Abigail, sweet Abigail!

You were just a child, only just a kid

Please Abigail, my Abigail!

He was not a man, make him understand

You’re not a little girl anymore!
