The Native Daughters Of The Golden West - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys

In ecstasy they cry to know

If their parents love will let them grow

Their mothers pride, their fathers joy

We thank the stars that theyre not boys

The native daughters of the golden west

Their beauty is priceless

As children do they stayed at home

Waiting for the day that they were grown

The future seemed so far away

But every night theyd kneel and pray

But all in all they did their best

And one by one they left the nest

Across the globe they searched for love

And put their faith in God above

The native daughters of the golden west

Theyre made out of light

We never would have guessed

So by and by their dreams came true they fell in love with boys they knew

Their children grew fed from the breast

Of the native daughters of the golden west

The native daughters of the golden west

They talk all day

But we were not impressed

The native daughters of the golden west

Theyre sisters of mercy

Theyll grant your last request
