Last night I talked to Val and found out that we, along with my mother and son, share a love of Tracy Chapman's music. Tracy's voice rang in my head this morning and then was the second song to come on on my mp3 player this morning during my walk. So, in keeping with Tracy Tracy Tracy all day I'm posting the lyrics to this song that makes me think of THE WATER CENTER.
Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call the police
Always come late
If they come at all
And when they arrived
They said they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walked out the door
The tears welled up in her eyes
Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
Prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
Then the policeman said
I'm here to keep teh peace
Would the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep
Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good
To call the police
Always come late
If they come at all
