Last night I heard the screaming  Loud vioces behind the wall  Another sleepless night for me  It won't do good to call  The police  Always come late  If they came at all    And when they arrive  They say they can't interfere  With domestic affairs  Between a man and his wife  And as they walk out the door  The tears well up in her eyes    Last night I heard the screaming  Then a silence that chilled my soul  I prayed that I was dreaming  When I saw the ambulance in the road    And the policeman said  I'm here to keep the peaceWill the crowd disperseI think we all could use some sleep
