Southern Gospel - The Sad Girl from Babylon

She was sad for the world
And it always
Seemed like nothing could hear her prayer
There's no time to think selfishly
We can't turn back now
Her tears could flood the world
If she let them fall for what they were
Tidal waves of love
And the preacher shouts
Holy water is the cure
Preacher shouting holy water is the cure
But it's never been the cure
Oh no
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
And she fell in love
With the sound of the world falling apart
Each pillar of Babylon
Seemed like it always was
More than jsut a broken heart
With a homesickness for a place
That I can't even begin to describe
Like a broken record repeating itself
And there's always a lonliness
Floating about in the air
Dragging ya down
Every year around the end of January
It took a long time
But there's still a long while
Yet in this life
Oh but she still believed
Deep in her heart
That there was purpose in all of the stars
And it got her through
Ever broken night
every wishful lie
And it plays like a broken record in my mind
it plays kinda scratchy but it still sound fine
Cause at least it aint silent in my mind
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
And she cried her eyes out
Every night
Cause she felt like life
Had passed her by
