preacher's daughter - billy the kid

"These crosses all over my body / Remind me of who I used to be / And Christ, forgive these bones I'm hiding." -Ethel Cain; Family Tree (Intro) - Preacher's Daughter

she was your everything, until your father found out and sent her away to a place neither of you have ever even heard of. with nothing else to do and no will to try, you're drowned in the activities of the church-until you meet a sorrowful cowboy who helps you remember both your faith and how to love.
