This Bibis Song Is Amazing ...

Thank you Southern Gothic Productions for introducing me to (yet again) something new. I am totally in love with Bibis Ellison's music. I found this song ... made me cry ... thought I'd share at least the lyrics with you. She is an extraordinary performer ... really REAL! I can relate to almost every song that I've heard in one way or another, whether it's the lyrics, a familiar riff or just a common feeling. You should totally check her out when you can! How about RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?!

Tonight, Little Girl

The world hates you tonight, little girl
And you've not a tear to cry
Your secret hideaway is gone
And your jewelry box is empty

Your toys are rusted from the rain
And your dollies all are broken
Your eyes are raw and once there was
Baby's schoolyard is empty

They tell me to have faith
But it's hard when there's nothing I even believe
And I'm waiting for signals
The ones that you promised
But it's only my eyes that will bleed

Why didn't the wind blow you my way?
Why didn't the trees cradle you for me?
And keep you living for me?

The world hates you tonight, little girl
And it's true you're being selfish
So keep the mommas warm and tight
You can unravel later

Keep the lipstick battle down
She is grieving so it seems
And when you see her keep in mind
That blood stains pretty badly

They tell me to have faith
But it's hard when there's nothing I even believe
And I'm waiting for signals
The ones that you promised
But it's only my eyes that will bleed

Why didn't the wind blow you my way?
Why didn't the trees cradle you for me?
And keep you living for me?

The world hates you tonight, little girl
Guess now you can't have secrets
He's watching, waiting silently
He believed in what he is now

So listen closely to the wind
He'll be speaking very sweetly
Hold the red nice and tight
You are on your own now
