Daniel’s Daughter
Written by Jimmy Whiffen © 2008 (SOCAN)

Verse 1
In a cardboard cave she’s sleeping by the dirty river
Pickin' up things to gratify her fears
The monster inside, is screamin' feed me more,
That's all she hears
Verse 2
He's been lookin' for her for a long long time
She seems to have evaded everyone
So caught up in a world, that ain't her daddy's little girl,
Anymore
Chorus
She ran away a year ago last Sunday
To see that shiny thing on the other end of the highway
Chasin' that artificial feel good delight
Daniel’s Daughter
Won't be comin' home tonite
Verse 3
Daniel prays that he might find her
She's an only child, alive is all he asks
She's drowin' in her pain, and he's the last thing on her mind
As she cries like rain
Chorus
She ran away a year ago last Sunday
To see that shiny thing on the other end of the highway
Chasin' that artificial feel good delight
Daniel’s Daughter
Won't be comin' home tonite
Bridge
ooh hoo come on home little girl
ooh hoo its safe and warm right here
ooh hoo come on home little girl
Ooh hoo I love you dear
Chorus
She ran away a year ago last Sunday
To see that shiny thing on the other end of the highway
Chasin' that artificial feel good delight
Daniel’s Daughter
Won't be comin' home tonite
Tag
Daniels Daughter won't be comin' home tonite
Daniels Daughter won't be comin' home tonite
Daniels Daughter ooh hoo hoo, Daniels Daughter ooh hoo hoo, Daniel’s Daughter
