Night Watchman |
| My name is Hank Low |
| I was born on Christmas eve |
| My Daddy wasn’t there |
| He was talking with the police |
| A neighbour called it in |
| He was hitting mom again, again, again |
| No ambulance came |
| Only stuttered grief |
| Ma fell asleep on the couch |
| While my brother played with me |
| No charges pressed |
| Soon dad was home, home, home |
| Busted lip |
| Milk and cheese |
| At the grocery store |
| Eyes looking down at me |
| Six years old, bubble gum hid |
| I my hand in my pocket |
| Now Ma only cried |
| When she watched TV |
| At night I’d lie awake |
| Till Dad fell asleep |
| Come fourth grade my Ma held me |
| And called me her little night watchman |
| My brother fell sick |
| When he turned fifteen |
| His eyes went dark |
| His head went mean |
| I cried and cried |
| The night he died, alone, alone |
| So Ma went down |
| To the Welfare House |
| See money got smaller |
| Since Frankie killed himself |
| And Dad blamed Ma |
| Put her head through a wall, put her head through a wall |
| I came up slow behind |
| Moving awfully quiet |
| I remember the summer crickets |
| I stabbed him thirty times |
| My name is Hank Low |
| I was thirteen years old |
| I was the night watchman |
