Tanita Tikaram - Little Sister Leaving Town lyrics

Album: The Sweet Keeper (1990)

As always I stop to speak
Some girls like to say their piece
As always I turn to you
Don´t understand what you are doing
And

Light up this town
Grow weary & back down
It is such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town

Says the poet "I would not grass"
Some things are better left & not taken to task
I guess I knew she was a Rose
She knows what hurts & how to hold

If your daddy he turned round
Let the grass around him scream the sound
I am so sorry for these tales you are telling
Sometimes you can not account

Light up this town
Grow weary & back down
It is such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town

And sometimes it is absurd
A minor triumph when you hear the words
"I am 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
I am just holding back for you
Sometimes that helps too

Light up this town
Grow weary & back down
It is such an amazing sight
To be found -
Little sister leaving town
