250,000 Miles

Lyrics

Oh where is my daughter that I carried
 Gone to where the desert meets the sea
 Far from where our family's bones are buried
 Where mother moon walks arm in arm with me
 ♪
 A lady's maid for ladies who are waiting
 She paints the toes, prepares a stranger's tea
 What came before she must forget or bury
 Or carry deep inside her silently
 ♪
 The red lipstick faces in the alleys
 Their echoes and their shadows wind and wind
 My daughter lives in still a deeper valley
 And I fear I am running out of time
 ♪
 Oh where is my daughter that I carried
 Gone to where the fears of men obey
 While mother moon hangs silently but is waiting
 250, 000 thousand miles away
