[Verse 1]
She was a young girl from a Mission town
Spoke a language that was hard to learn
And she didn't know much about the world
Of the Western society
[?] was the skin of the blanket of the night
The stars were inside her
So she could follow the light back home
To where she belonged
[Chorus]
Hey-y-y, love
I know how it feels
To be so far away
From the life you come to lead
Hey-y-y, lo-o-ove
I know you want to cry
But the winds will guide you back
To mother, to mother, to mother
O-oh why, o-oh why
Oh why-y-y-y?
To mother, to mothеr
[Verse 2]
She was in the toilets onе afternoon
These girls walked in
All the [?] askew
They told her things that were true
Because of her mother, they hated her too
They pushed her out and spat on her face
They laughed and looked
As she knew it had to stop
Back-to-back with two of her friends
She fought the sadness right through to the end
They were laying on the bathroom floor
The words they said never left a scar
[Chorus]
Hey-y-y, love
I know how it feels
To be so far away
From the life you come to lead
Hey-y-y, lo-o-ove
I know you want to cry
But the winds will guide you back
To mother, to mother, to mother
O-oh why, o-oh why
Oh why-y-y-y?
To mother, to mother
