Beth Hart

Ik kreeg een CD van haar voor mijn 40e verjaardag , ik kwam haar vandaag tegen op iemands hyve . Die tekst .........het laat me niet los
Ooit al eerder voelde ik dezelfde emotie bij Amelia van The Mission , Beth zet het echter rauwer neer ,puur ..........


Beth Hart , Leave the light on


I've seen myself, with a dirty face
I've cut my luck, with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
I went from zero, to minus ten
I drank your wine, then I stole your man
I leave the light on
I leave that light on

Daddy ain't that bad, he just plays rough
I ain't that scarred, when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
Yeah, I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
Was it something I did? Must be something I said
I leave the light on
I better leave the light on

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yeah, I don't know much about it
And I never did - no, no

17, and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself, just to feel alive
And I leave the light on
And I leave the light on
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I leave the light on
I better leave the light on

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yea, I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone?
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become

And lucky stars, and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself, in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget - I never will forget

I'm still afraid, to be alone
Wish that the moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
Yeah, I leave that light on

I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad, but I'm sad enough

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I wanna love
I wanna live
No, I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone?
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become

I leave that light…
I leave that light…
I leave that light on

God bless the child, with the dirty face
Who cuts her luck, with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on
I leave that light on


The Misson , Amelia

Daddy says come and sit on my knee
Daddy says youre the only girl for me
cos amelia, youre daddys favourite girl
Amelia, daddy loves his little girl

Daddy comes in the dark of night
Daddy say dont be scared, itll be alright
Amelia, daddy hates to see you cry
Amelia, youre the apple of daddys eye

Daddy says dry your tears and give me a smile
Daddy says if youre good Ill hold you awhile
cos amelia, youre daddys precious girl
Amelia, daddy loves to love his little girl

daddy, tell me daddy,
Is this really love?

Daddy says dont tell mama what I do to you
Daddy says if you do Ill beat you black and blue
cos amelia, you make daddy feel like a man
Amelia, daddy loves you more than mummy can

daddy, tell me, daddy,
How can you call this love?

Amelia
Damn your daddy to hell
