Pauline Andrès - All Them Ghosts lyrics

I know he beat on her with his belt; And all her life she cried inside She never had the words to say how she felt; And how she kept it out of sight For the men who never gave a damn; Her husband, her father and their goddamn pride He left her with three kids in a foreign land; One of them was a rape child She never had the words to say how she felt; And all her life she cried inside Coz of the man who broke her heart; The father of her children, a cheater and a liar I know he beat on her with his belt I know what that one did in that bed And all my life I know I'll try to make it right And all their lives they cried inside And some of them tears keep flowin' in my veins And all my life I know I'll try To dry them and maybe one day be the first of us to smile inside I know he beat on her with his belt
