Hurt - The Old Mission Lyrics
She visits the place that the tour groups must haveshe's shocked to find somebody thereWith a sun-beaten face, and a silver-grey headHe knelt on the floor unawareHe said "I'm sorry madam" as he lent her his hand"I know I must be a strange sightbut I've been coming here for some thirty odd yearsever since my sweet lady diedbut I sure am glad you listenedOh, I sure am glad you cameI've been waiting here in this missionever since that day"Oh, that summer we met, only fools could forgetjust how perfect a woman could beby the time she was late, we had both set a datein a place where she would marry mebut a gringo brought shame to their proud family nameand her father forbade it to beso in less than a week, we found her by the creekand the parents blamed it all on mebut I sure am glad you listenedand I sure am glad you cameI've been waiting here in this missionever since that daywell, her name was marieand the day she met mewas the worst day of both of our livesIf it wasn't for me, I would truly believemy sweetheart could still be aliveShe said "Darling believe don't you recognize me?Though you waited here all of this timeThey had shipped me away to my family in Spainwe can get on with our liveswe still have plenty of time'cause I sure am glad I listenedOh, I sure am glad I cameI made looking for you my missionever since that dayoh, I sure am glad you listenedoh, I sure am glad you cameI've been waiting here in this missionever since that dayand I sure am glad you listenedOh, I sure am glad you cameI've been waiting here in this missionever since that dayMay God bless you, have a good day"
