Heart of a Girl Songtext
von Sandra McCracken

Looking out my window
An angel in a robe appeared and nearly pulled me apart
A million miles of freedom
A million miles of road
Still don′t know where to start
She wrote her number down, gave it to me
They had to scrape me off the floor
In this transient town
Waiters and dealers trying to get their foot in the door
I called her, she said

"Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
I've been trying to find my place in this world"
(I said to her)
"Baby, baby, babe I got all night
To listen to the heart of a girl"


I can see the time dripping down the clock
We′ve been trying to hear that ancient refrain
It's the one that knows us when our heads are down
It reminds us of the place of where we came
Where we came

Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
I've been trying to find my place in this world
Baby, baby, babe I got all night
To listen to the heart of a girl

What happened here? What is this world?
Too far from the heart of a girl
A ripple in the water from the drop of a pearl
I′m on the shore waiting for the heart of a girl

Many doors
Knock on one
Standing still, time is raging
Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns
And you′re still here, you're still here
I believe that we never have to be alone
I believe it′s just around the bend
You can hold it in, or you can scream it on the microphone
There is no end
There is no end


It's deep in the night, I feel a presence
Of something that was long ago, told to me
There is a hand guiding the river
The river too wide open sea
Deep in my heart, in any game
On any mountain, no I′m not afraid
Standing on stone, you stand beside me
And honor the plans that were made

Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
I've been trying to find my place in the world
Baby, baby, babe I got all night
To listen to the heart of a girl
