lyrics

She’s crossed the world for a man she’s never seen
Left home for a stranger’s family, aged nineteen
She's scared they want her to be the quiet wife
But wild by nature, she dreamt of a different life

And she prays to God, he will never lay a finger on her
She prays to God, he will never lay a finger on her

The garden fills her heart with so much joy
No words in anger, and at her feet her baby boy
Dancing dizzy they tumble to the floor
Hearts stuck in their mouths when dad stumbles through the door

And they pray to God, he will never lay a finger on her
And they pray to God, he will never lay a finger on her

Can you see the light in her eyes
Can you see

She sits in her empty nest, alone each day
Her baby is long gone and she begins to pray
Pray for him, mistakes he won’t repeat
If he loves his woman right, her work’s complete

And she prays to God, he will never lay a finger on her
And she prays to God, he will never lay a finger on her
And she prays to God, he will never lay a finger on her
