Her Place in this World
Father do you see her
Lost in her little space
So much forgotten
In the sands of time
But celluloid remembers
Etched if then in her face
The one in the mirror
The one still mystified
She says where did you go
I walk these empty rooms
And I don't even see your shadow
She didn't ask you for diamonds and pearls
She never asked to be your little girl
Now it's all she can do
To find her place in this world
Mother do you see her
Born of your flesh and blood
Did she remind you
Of the chances missed
For the price of freedom
Must be the price of love
Changed by the memory
Of one treasured kiss
She says where did you go
I cry these empty nights
And I don't ever hear an echo
She didn't ask you for diamonds and pearls
She never asked to be your little girl
Now it's all she can do
To find her place in this world
And if you could only have known
What she could have been to you
When by the time she will realise
That you were victims too
The damage will be done
Oh. Oh.
And all that's left
Will be diamonds and pearls
When she gives up trying
To be your little girl
And finds a way to tell
The place in this world
And all that's left
Will be diamonds and pearls
Her place in this world
