Lost Unto This World Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Hmm ohh ohh 

Hmm hmm hmm ohh 

I was once some mother's darlin' 

Some daddy's little girl 

More a precious than the ruby 

More cherished than the pearl 

My heart was full of mercy 

And my forehead full of curl 

Now I am nothing and I'm lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world

They herded me like cattle 

Cut me down like corn 

Took me from my babies 

Before they could be born 

You can blame it on the famine 

You can blame it on the war 

You can blame it on the Devil 

It don't matter anymore 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I was tortured in the desert 

I was raped out on the plane 

I was murdered by the highway 

And my cries went up in vain 

Photos 

My blood is on the mountain 

My blood is on the sand 

My blood runs in the rivers 

That now washes through their hands 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

Oh can I get no witness 

This unholy tale to tell? 

Was God the only one there watching 

And weeping as I fell? 

Umm hmm umm hmm 

Umm hmm umm hmm 

Umm hmm umm hmm 

Umm hmm umm hmm 

Ohh you among the living 

Will you remember me at all? 

Will you write my name out 

With a single finger scrawl? 

Across a broken window 

In some long forgotten wall 

That goes stretching out forever 

Where the tears of Heaven fall 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world 

I am lost unto this world
