Preacher's Daughter Lyrics

Joy Williams

His hands turn gold leaf pages
And taught me to tie my laces
We could build a house
Strong as the good old Spring
Had two girls who never sung
Left his job and [?]
For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear

Yeah we're all just who we are
The apple don't fall far

Preacher's daughter, I love my father
Turned wine from water in my eyes
Bound together, sweet surrender
[?] forever, all the light
Preacher's daughter

I was the one he could not tame
Bound to scuffle the family name
And at seventeen I took off on my own
And like his will, I would not bend
'Cause I got my nerve from him
We were made of salt
We were never made of stone

Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
Turned wine from water in my eyes
Bound together, sweet surrender
[?] forever, all the light
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter

I took him to the brink
He forgave me at the kitchen sink
Like an altar I laid all my burdens down
And the day that he passed on
I lost a little piece of God
But I see his smile in the son that I have now

Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
Turned wine from water in my eyes
Bound together, heaven's treasure
[?] forever, all the light
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
