Intro:
Scarred by the devil with pock mark on cheek.
She sang like an angel with a voice that would
never keep
And I mourn for her when her spirit rise. And I
don t want to go home.
Pretty and peculiar. She glowed when dawn turned
dusk. The light gave off a buzz and the buzz it
gave off sparks.
I watched for crying but her eyes were dry. And I
don t want to go home.
The day before Christmas her dear daddy took
flight. She didn t bat her lashes as he walked into
the night.
She screams for no one because no one is alone. And
I don t want to go home.
I weep without thinking. I quiver at a touch. I
will never be her. I wasn t built that tough.
She talks without speaking. I don t talk at all. Am
Oh, when I m this alone- I don t want to go home.
History repeats and brings me to my knees. Over my
shoulder she s older and older and I m just a
little girl.
