Eva Cassidy - Little children

Tekst :

Dark night broken lights
A boy on the corner with his hands held high
He sees a gun sees an eye
But he d rather get shot than give it up

Works for a violent man
Who expects to get money when he sees him again
And if he doesn t die on the corner tonight
It won t take too long to catch him

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Little young man he ain t got a lot
But he d sell his whole world just to get what you ve got
He s not even sure if his body s hooked
But if he gets a little higher he could fly away

Little young lady watch her children play
There s two outside and one on the way
She hasn t seen her man in a thousand days
Since the police came around and took him away

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Sirens scream through the empty streets
Headed to the scene of another mistake
One man hanging on the edge of life
The other one thrown in a bag

The children watch the children think
That the bottom line is that nothing s free
But it doesn t take much to end a life
When the thoughts stop coming out straight

Children throw their lives away
A little more every day

  • Oh, had i a golden thread
  • Look into my eyes
  • The water is wide
  • Songbird
  • Let the good times roll
  • Need your love so bad
  • Drowning in the sea of love
  • Fly me to the moon
  • Somewhere over the rainbow
  • Tennessee waltz
  • Drown in my own tears
  • How can i keep from singing
  • Fields of gold
  • Tall trees in Georgia
  • Still not ready
  • Over the rainbow
  • Losowe utwory

    Dip your wings

    If you see me coming up an open road
    With an empty glass and a single rose
    Take a turn towards the shifting light
    There you ll see my shadow lost in the night

    Endless flight has no directions now
    To a coward s...

    Forever

    Not to judge, but to encourage.
    Look inside and search your soul.
    Can t you see the hypocrisy?
    It s inside you and it s inside me.
    I ll make a promise to you: someday
    The Lord will come and take us away.
    No more suffering, no more hate and sorrow.
    Just love, sweet love.
    From a God...

    You want it all

    Subscribe, to love, of your, big gut
    Fill it up, with food, you love it all
    Watch out, I m here, I crowd, your sneer
    Reflects your face, you love it all

    You want it all (you want it all)
    You want it all...

    Following me

    Standing before me
    Light shining into my eyes
    Telling the story
    You wandered into my life
    Without your sweet love
    Where in the world would i be
    Love is the reason
    You re following me
    I try to hear you
    Voice echoes into the night
    You giving me your heart
    I know that the feeling is right
    Without your sweet love
    Where in...

    Embarrasment

    Received a letter just the other day,
    Don t seem they wanna know you no more,
    They ve laid it down given you their score,
    Within the first two lines it bluntly read.

    You re not to come and see us no more,
    Keep away from our door,
    Don t...
