Daddy's Not Coming Home - Sarah Jezebel Deva

Your mother don’t stop crying don’t ask me why,

And your family don’t stop asking questions

Maybe she’s lonely cos daddy’s never there

And whenever he is there’s always tension.

You sit in the corner cos you’ve got no friends

and you’re scared someone will beat you,

hey !

Let’s play happy families and pretend

that someone needs you.

Daddy’s not coming home

Cos daddy’s found someone

Tell you little stories your desire to hear

But cover your eyes to block the screaming,

Mother works nights to pay the bill’s

But lies can’t hide the drink and bruising

You sit in darkness cos no one is there

To witness all the pain their inflicting,

So close your eyes and drift away

Life is always better when you’re sleeping.

Daddy’s not coming home

Cos daddy’s found someone

Sleep, close your eyes

Fall, I will catch you,

Sleep, close your eyes

Fall, I will catch you… I will catch…

I will catch you.
