Text

She’s a rose in the desert, and velvet black eyes
She’s an angel beneath the brittle clear skies
She should be laughter and pigtails, couldn’t be more than nine years old at the most
Still she’s walking the desert with eyes like a ghost
Still she’s walking the desert with eyes like a ghost

She clings to my hand in this runaway land
As we walk to the temple cross the mercyless sand
Now I don’t know where she came from and I don’t know where she´s been
If this lake is so holy why’s salvation so thin
If this lake is so holy why’s salvation so thin

Sima says, won’t you take me home
Sima says, won’t you be my mum, oh
Sima says, won’t you take me home
I’ll be good, I’ll be good
I’ll be good, I’ll be, oh so good

Now I’m down on my knees in the dark of the night
Lord I should’ve saved her, I should’ve done what was right
Now I don’t know where she´s sleeping and I don’t know who’s with her
If there’s a God somewhere out there please say he’s walking with her
Lord if your angels are out there please send them walking with her

Sima says, won’t you take me home
Sima says, won’t you be my mum, oh
Sima says, must have done something wrong
I’ll do better, I’ll do better
I’ll be good, I’ll be, oh so good

And I wish I had taken her out of that hole
Now her eyes are forever engraved in my soul
As we walked cross the sand in her runaway land
Where my Sima now walks all alone, all alone
