Ocean's Daughter

Mama, Mama, help me, I'm drowning in dust

Mother Nature's wedding band is turning to rust

Mother of the ocean, Mother of the sea

I tried to drink your water but it only left me thirsty

And I try and try and try and try again

The tide, it pulls me out and pulls me in

Oh Father, Father, help, I've wasted all this time

My lover is a sailor, she sails across the water

And I am but a digger, I'm digging in the mines

She wishes on the stars and I wish on my kerosene daughter

And I try and try and try and try again

The light, it pulls me out and pulls me in

Mama, Mama, help me, my fields are on fire

I went to ask the river but the rivers, they are dry

Mother of the ocean, you're no use to me

You could give me all your water but the land would still be thirsty

I try and try and try and try again

There's salt upon the land and the rain may never come again

Oh Father, Father, help me, I'm drowning in dust

My tears, they are not water and I am but a beggar

I'm begging for this time and killing time is murder

My lover was a sailor but now she is the ocean's daughter

Daughter

Daughter
