Mama passed out, I thought she looked pretty.
She’s probably tired from putting up with me.
The way she glowed in the light from the Sun’s goodbye,
I could see a side to her I never got from her eyes.
Little girl
peacefully
sleeps through the night.
One day, someday everything will be fine.

But for now I still see you in my dreams.
I’d call them nightmares but they’re my memories.
I called you up just because last week.
Did you think I could keep
all that you took from me?
Mama called me, I just let it ring.
Nobody’s home,
we’re all gone looking for peace.
Little girl
peacefully
sleeps through the night.
One day, someday everything will be fine.
But for now I still see you in my dreams.
I’d call them nightmares but they’re my memories.
Mama told me to look at the baby fast asleep.
She said the Lord made her look this sweet
So she could be forgiven easily
for all of the shit she put her through.
I keep memories of Mama sleepin’
in case that’s true.
Little girl
peacefully sleeps through the night.
One day, someday everything will be fine.
But for now, I still see you in my dreams.
I’d call them nightmares but they’re my memories.
