The Girl Lyrics

The Girl

She's been far away from home too long

She sits by a free flowing river

She is listening to her favourite song

A song her father once sang to her

She stares unfocused at the waters run

She shivers briefly in the warming sun

All alone in this land

Should she go back home

Or build a home in this land

Should she go back to her own

A man is walking by the riverside

He sees the girl in wistful reverie

He startled her and then apologised

His heart went out to her in sympathy

Instinctively he feels she's all alone

Where does she come from where does she call home

All alone in this land

Should she go back home

Or build a home in this land

Should she go back to her own

She recognised the kindness in his eyes

She thinks he's just about her father's age

He paused to turn and leave her with a smile

Surprised she shyly raised her hand to wave

To him a colliding of dust motes in space

For her a heavenly sign of divine saving grace

All alone in this land

Should she go back home

Or build a home in this land

Should she go back to her own

She's been far away from home too long

She sits by a free flowing river

She is listening to her favourite song

A song her father once sang to her

She stares unfocused at the waters run

She shivers briefly in the warming sun

All alone in this land

Should she go back home

Or build a home in this land

Should she go back to her own
