In My Room Lyrics - Singles - Page Martin

I see my mother sit in silence 

Count the minutes to closing time 

One more drink and he'll bring home anger 

Like clockwork I would hide 

Heavy steps 

Drunken threats 

Locked away I can feel you 

Chorus: 

In my room 

I can hear her fight his kiss 

In my room 

I hear him bring down his fist 

And still at night 

I hear my mother cry 

Tonight the wait is over 

And he won't be pacified 

He'll raise his bottle just like a hammer 

And she will be crucified 

Broken cross 

Something lost 

Locked away I can feel you 

Chorus: 

In my room 

I can hear her fight his kiss 

In my room 

I hear him bring down his fist 

And still at night 

I hear my mother cry 

What did she do to suffer you 

Her tears bleed through the walls in here 

And I'll stand in your way 

Father 

You won't hit her ever again 

Broken cross 

Something lost 

Locked away I can feel you 

In my room 

I can hear her fight his kiss 

In my room 

I hear him bring down his fist 

And still at night 

I hear my mother cry 

She lays herself down 

No more strength to resist 

I close my eyes 

But the darkness won't forgive 

And still at night 

I hear my mother cry
