Trying to be there for someone who's struggling

lyrics

Take your time we’ll wait for you
Sun’s almost up and the day is new
Clean your plate and shut the door
Burn what’s inside you don’t need it any more
You don’t need it any more

Cos you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
You
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t give glory to them again

I’ve seen you at your best
It’s still a part of you I guess
Fuzzy mind can make things unfair
We all think sometimes the grass is greener over there
It’s greener over there

Cos you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
You
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t give glory to them again

Look around you
We’re all here
We all want you
Back down here

Aiming high your mind will run
Look at your feet see how walking is done
And the past is a pain but we love you so don’t
Regret what you’ve given, I know that we won’t
I know that we won’t

Cos you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
And you’ve always been
You
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t let them win
Don’t give glory to them again
Don’t give glory to them again

Take you’ll time we’ll wait for you
Sun’s almost up and the day is new

about

Beth Porter Newton Stewart, UK

The songs from When The Lights Are Bright are dark, quirky, charming and ethereal Chamber-Pop, and depict themes such as fear, confusion, money, the weather and the odd cheesy love song, all carried by Beth’s pure and unaffected voice. Marshes have been likened to Cat Power, The Beatles, REM, This Is The Kit, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Radiohead, The Incredible String Band and The Kinks. ... more
