crack in the mirror

you say you can't remember this man she can't forget

you say that it's been too damn long time to bury the hatchet

and if it made a difference well you would say you're sorry

it really makes you wonder why you should even bother

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

all fall down

she was just a baby

left a little crazy

sleepy little southern state

never heard of segregate

never heard of segregate

never heard of segregate

he was just a hired hand

daddy was a working man

work took daddy far from home

better hide the evidence

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

all fall down

no one in that big

old house heard the baby cry

hide your guilt in ignorance so no one has to lie

no one in her daddy's house heard her make a sound

blood on everybody's hands

blood on everybody's hands

blood on everybody's hands

he was just a hired hand

daddy kept him on again

for ten long years he watched her grow

for ten long years he watched her

nobody would ever know the places that he touched her

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

all fall down

now you say don't remember this man she can't forget

you say that your life must go on time to bury the hatchet

and if she was so damned afraid you're sure you would remember

children will exaggerate

children will exaggerate

children will exaggerate

children will exaggerate

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

there's a mirror in the house at the edge of town

there's a crack in the mirror

all fall down

no one can find me

no one will find me now
