Ben Howard - Jessica lyrics
[Ben Howard - Jessica lyrics]
Young girl of only 19 beautiful smile
Looked just like her dream
Her parents were so proud
Came from the southern counties
Deep Blue eyes saw more than I see
Hair blew with the wind
Goes to a party everyone turns to see
Beautiful Jessica of only 19
Out on the same night
Two middleweights got into to many fights
But they were ok yeah they were alright
Alright, alright
One man says to the other
"Wouldn't it be nice to get mе a lover?"
The other onе turns round and says
"Don't you remember, don't you forget
It was only last December
That girl you called Julliet
You've had more than me"
Someone hit's the side of the car
Pale faces baby it's a night of alarm
They stop 50 yards down the road
Walking back they see tyre marks
Under a sycamore tree
Walking back they see Jessica's eyes
Bright as bright as can be
One man says to the other
"I think we better get out of here
I don't wanna be on the TV news
I don't wanna be on the TV news"
Hearts racing for the rest of the night
Fears of the wrong and the right
Seconds turning your world fades to blue
Jessica's heart stopped beating
Under the star light and the sirens bleeping
Morals of humankind left by the
Side of the road
One man says to the other
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe in this world
Everyway I look I see
I see the shuddering cold
I can feel the the Devil
The Devil on my shoulder hmm, on my shoulder
On my shoulder"
One man of only honestly
Made a mistake for which
He can never never be free
Let the gates of heaven judge his soul
Falling to the sea below the sea below
Meanwhile in another part of town
Cops trying to earn his crown
Trying to fight for justice
He just doesn't know
Justice lives at the bottom of the soul
Walking back he sees tire marks
Under a sycamore tree, oh
Walking back he sees this man this man
Can never be free
Goes to the house on the same night
Finds the man he needs to his delight
Puts him in a jail house
Which such a rat deserves
Such a rat deserves
One man says to the other
"Where are you, where are you
Where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?
Where are you, where are you
Where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?"
Sitting in a 6 foot cell
Dreams that could of been accomplished
It's a living hell tears fall from his eyes
Fall from his eyes
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud God can hear
So loud God can hear
Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?
Love can you hear me now?
Oh can you hear me now?
Looked just like her dream

Love can you hear me now?
Oh can you hear me now?
