  • 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
    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
    October
    November
    December
    It never leaves my mind
    The last words she said
    "If I don't find it this time,
    Then I'm better off dead". Writer/s: POLLY HARVEY
