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
