Little Sister Leaving Town Lyrics by 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 -
Little sister leaving town
