The Other Daughter

hey, it's me

the other daughter

I'm coming home again

leave the door open

hey, it's me

I have forgotten

I'm a well known stranger

now that I am older

won't you please

let me in

fresh air filled with memories

faces of new families

sixty-four eyes watching me

while I'm sleeping

got ghosts of me waiting

in my empty bed

they're stealing my blanket

and all that I am

hey, it's me

I have forgotten

oh mama

I hate to say you were right

I couldn't scream if I wanted to

not even to save my life

get my old coat from the basement

it's getting cold now i can taste it

what a shame it doesn't fit me anymore

won't you please

let me in

won't you please

let me in

hey, it's me

the other daughter

I'm coming home again

I'm glad it's always open
