Sunlight on Her Face - Remedy Drive

Precious girl from the countriside

The only daughter of a farmer’s bride

With so much to fear and so much to hide

And she hides

She’s resigned it seems and exausted too

She’s got memories of a dream that got lost en route

But her eyes still gleam from across the room

I write a love song for a prostitute

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

And her hair falls over her shoulder

She’s so elegant as she was older

I was there on the day that they sold her

While she went away where they told her

And she prays to You in the Issan rain

She prayed but she never knew Your name

She prayed to You but You never came

She prays still but it still stays the same

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

She wants to feel

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

Maybe I lost myself in this venture

I can drink more but I cant quench thirst

I can knock on the door but I cant enter

I’m not free anymore if shes indentured

She prayed to You in the Isaan rain

She prayed but she never knew Your name

She prayed to You but You never came

She prays still but it still stays the same

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

She wants to feel

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

Alabaster parfume on Your feet from her hair

Shes the last in the room and the first to care

She held You at the tomb with the dew in the air

Cruel spears in Your side on the hill she was there

On the wall with the spies under pale moon

Hiden there by her side in the back of the room

She’s a child and a bride in Sahara dune

She’s a daughter od Syria and Camaroon

From the streets of Brazil

To the hills of Thailand

On the bullets strewn fields of Uganda sand

She’s maybe fifteen, shes american

She’s praying are You listening

So You understand?

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

She wants to feel

Sunlight, sunlight

On her face, on her face

She wants to feel

Sunlight

On her face, on her face

She wants to feel

Sunlight

On her face, on her face
