Little Sister Leaving Town lyrics

As always I stop to speak

Some girls like to say their piece

As always I'll turn to you

Don't understand what you're doing

And

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town

Says the poet "I won't 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 this sound

I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling

Sometimes you can't account

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town

And sometimes it's absurd

A minor triumph when you hear the words

"I'm 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'm just holding back for you

Sometimes that helps to

Light up this town

Grow weary and back down

It's such an amazing sight

To be found

Little sister leaving town
