there's a light on in the hallway,
so I can't understand,
why you hide underneath the cover,
there's a baby in your womb,
so don't be scared tonight,
because 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 tired of being brave until the daddy comes home

so if you chance to see her,
please tell her it's alright,
'cause everyone 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 now, 'cause no one's home
I'll put you to sleep at night,
like a foreign movie,
I'll sing lullabies,
and I'll teach you about everything,
and I'll only ask one thing,
please save me...yeah
