Prodigal Daughter Lyrics

Tell me when I've had enough
Give me my taxi fare
Make sure that I get there
Said the prodigal daughter

Take me out to harbour lights
Laughing with new friends we've found
But if I jump in don't let me drown
Said the prodigal daughter

'Cause home is where you hear the truth
And they know you better than you know yourself
Home

I've been waiting all through lent
And I can't wait any more
Just don't let me wake up on the floor
She laughs the prodigal daughter

'Cause home is where you hear the truth
And they know you better than you know yourself
Home

Tell me when I've had enough
Put me in a taxi, give me the fare
There'll be hell to pay if I don't get there
Said the prodigal daughter
