Emmylou Harris - Lost Unto This World Lyrics

(Emmylou HarrisDanniel Lanois)

I was once some mother's darlin'

Some daddy's little girl

More precious than the ruby

More cherished than the pearl

My heart was full of mercy

And my forehead full of curl

Now I am nothing and am lost unto this world

I am lost unto this world...

They herded me like cattle

Cut me down like corn

Took me from my babies

Before they could be born

You can blame it on the famine

You can blame it on the war

You can blame it on the devil

It don't matter anymore

I am lost unto this world...

I was tortured in the desert

I was raped out on the piain

I was murdered by the high way

And my cries went up in vain

My blood is on the mountain

My blood is on the sand

My blood runs in the river

That now washes thru their hands

I am lost unto this world...

Can I get no witness this unholy tale to teil

Was God the only one there watching

And weeping as l feil

O you among the living

Will you remember me at all

Will you write my name out

With a single finger scrawl

Across a broken window

In some long forgotten wall

That goes stretching out forever

Where the tears of heaven fall

I am lost unto this world...
