My Beautiful Leah

by PJ Harvey

on Is This Desire? (1998)

[Verse 1]
Did you see her walking?
Did she come around here, sir?
Black hair, brown eyes
My beautiful Leah
She was always so needing
Said "I have no one"
Even as I held her
She went out looking for someone
Looking for someone

[Verse 2]
She only had nightmares
And her sadness never lifted
And slowly over the years
Her lovely face twisted
Did she come around here, sir?
I swear you would remember
Black hair, brown eyes
Late September

[Bridge]
October
November
December

[Outro]
It never leaves my mind
The last words she said
If I don't find it this time
Then I'm better off dead
