there's a light on in the hallway
so i can't understand
why you hide underneath the covers
there's a baby in your womb
so don't be scared tonight
raggedy ann is in the closet picking posies

two babies in the dark
like diamonds in the sand
while papa's far away making up children's stories
the little one's inside
so afraid to be alone
she's trying to be brave until the daddy comes home

so if you chance to see her
please tell her it's alright
'cause everybody fights the tendency to snap
sometimes it's not a matter
of being brave and strong
'cause noises in the house are terrifying

two babies in the dark
like diamonds in the sand
while papa's far away making up children's stories
the little one's inside
so afraid to be alone
she's talking to herself nothing`s no once more

i'll put you to sleep tonight
like a foreign movie
i'll sing you lullabies
and i'll teach you about everything
and i'll only ask one thing
please save me
