I see the scars from a mad man's knife

Marks on your wrist where he had you tied

You try and tell me it doesn't mean a thing

I hear the sad songs you're left to sing

You thought you could take it, day after day

You're blessed to be able to still walk away

Your mother told you they were dirty old men

They say if you don't play you can't win



You want love, you need love

There's love on the mountain



His hands were folded as if to pray

But he never had any words to say

He walked beside you then and he left you alone

To face the fear that he places in your soul

Prodigal girl, come in out of the cold

Rest your feet before you explode

Prodigal girl, I know you're hurt

I know what they stole
