The Dolls Are Sleeping
The Dolls Are Sleeping
Performed by Shemekia Copeland
Written by John Hahn & Will Kimbrough
Came into my room
Lookin' like death
Wild look in his eyes
Liquor on his breath
He said lay still
Don't make a fuss
My old teddy bear sittin' there staring at us
The dolls are sleepin'
Right next to me
The dolls are sleepin'
Close my eyes
Tryin' to pray
But his face
Never goes away
Try to stop hatin'
I know I must
But how do you love
When you can't trust?
The dolls are sleepin'
Up on the shelf
Keepin' those secrets
All to themselves
The dolls are sleepin'
Who's gonna believe?
Where's the proof?
Who's gonna believe
In my truth
The dolls are sleepin'
Now the dolls are sleepin'
In a second hand store
Won't be no secrets
Anymore
The dolls are sleepin'
And if that night
I had no choice
Well, I know now
I found my voice
The dolls were sleepin'
