just got worse every night

behind their couch she'd be hiding

with every slap and every curse

her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in

and a small little girl stared at a picture of him

I don't know his name but I know he got off

cause he was there in my old house

and held me close to his side

as I hid there behind our couch

the night that my parents died
