Little Sister Leaving Town

Little Sister Leaving Town - Tanita Tikaram
As always I stop to speak

Some girls like to say their piece

As always I turn to you

Dont understand what youre doing
And

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down
Its such an amazing sight
To be found -

Little sister leaving town

Says the poet I wont grass

Some things are better left and not taken to task

I guess I knew she was a rose

She knows what hurts and how to hold

If your daddy he turned round

Let the grass around him scream the sound

Im so sorry for these tales youre telling

Sometimes you cant account
Light up this town

Grow weary and back down
Its such an amazing sight
To be found -

Little sister leaving town

And sometimes its absurd

A minor triumph when you hear the words

Im just trying to stake my place

No real fears upon this face

And my wishes
Nobody says

All the signs when I cross the days

Im just holding back for you

Sometimes that helps too
Light up this town

Grow weary and back down
Its such an amazing sight
To be found -
