Lyrics
Up there in the attic where momma said “Don’t go”
In the darkness of the shadows, lie secrets never told
Behind silver webs spun by spiders long since perished
Under years of dust, treasures she once cherished
A brown teddy bear, a blue baby’s rattle
A white rocking horse with a red plastic saddle
Aside from years of dust each item looked brand new
With every new discovery the mystery just grew
Whose toys were these? They weren’t meant for me
Left here in the dark for no one else to see
In the bottom of a box, lies a blue baby book
My heart raced as I picked it up and my hands shook
The pages were all blank, only one held a message
A bill from her doctor, it was for her miscarriage
Whose toys were these? They weren’t meant for me
Left here in the dark for no one else to see
