Emily Stilwell - Kailua Sunrise Lyrics

You kissed my hand
Say what's that mean, baby
You ain't even know my father's name
You held my stare
Say what's that mean, baby
How could you be so lonesome in a city like here

I ran so far away from people
Tried so hard to change my ways
Now here you stand pretending like you love me
You ain't even know my father's name

I'm boarding this train to find my old baby
I ain't even know if he's going to be kind
I ain't got no job, no money to feed me
I wonder if these strangers give me a penny this time

I ran so far away from people
Who loved me and begged me to change my ways
I'm boarding this train to find my old baby
I ain't even know my own name

I fear that old train, I can't help it baby
But I can't stay in south Georgia a moment more
I wish I could stay in this dream with you baby
I hope it will compare to the sunrise in Kailua and your eyes

I ran so far away from people
Who tried so hard to change my ways
I wish so hard I could stay with you baby
But I ain't even know my own name
