Prodigal Daughter

Lyrics

Oh, now Rosie, you come home in the morning
 You got a child on your knee and your mother, she looks old
 Says, "I don't know that baby, I don't know you, why'd you fail me?
 You left home seven years ago, and I wore black for days"
 Prodigal daughter returns like a lamb to the slaughter
 ♪
 I know forgiveness won't come easy, not for you
 Look at the child upon my knee, she has eyes of blue
 She resembles me resembling you
 ♪
 Mama, listen, come into the kitchen
 Pour me some tea, let me sit at your feet and let me cry
 I need a little money, I need love, and I need Sunday
 Suppers here at home, don't wanna be alone, let me stay
 Prodigal daughter returns like a lamb to the slaughter
 She yearns for the things that you taught her
 I know forgiveness won't come easy, not for me
 But I'll try to shut the past behind us, throw out the key
 Give me one more chance to make you see
 ♪
 Prodigal daughter returns like a lamb to the slaughter
 Looking for something in the water to wash away the pain
 She's drowning in the pain (drowning in the pain)
 Wash away the pain (wash away the pain)
 She's drowning in the pain (drowning in the pain)
 Wash away the pain (wash away)
 (Wash away) drowning in the pain
 (Wash away)
 (Wash away)
