Текст Rachel Hill — You Stop the Light Going Out

I feel as tired as the house guitar left in the corner
And so do the ocean of faces that don’t look like mine
As I sip on my third or fourth glass of lukewarm tap-water
I wait my turn, before the last call at the open mic

But you hear me when my lips aren’t moving
You read me when my body’s still
When I’m done, when I’m down
Well you stop the light going out
Oh you stop the light going out

The chairs face the stage
As the eyes all fixate on their phone screens
Second-date lovers are kissing all over the noise
I sing the songs that I came here to play
But what does it matter at the end of the day
When they came for each other
They’re not here to hear my voice

But you hear me when my lips aren’t moving
You read me when my body’s still
When I’m done, when I’m down
Well you stop the light going out
And you’re all that I need to remind myself

Even the thickest skin needs holding
Even the thickest skin
(Won’t you hold me? Wo n’t you hold me?)
Even the thickest skin needs holding
(Won’t you hold me? Won’t you hold me?)
Even the thickest skin
(Won’t you hold me? Hold me. Hold me)
Even the thickest skin needs holding
(Though I’m strong enough, I still need your love)
(Won’t you hold me? Won’t you hold me?)
Even the thickest skin
(Though I’m strong enough, I still need your love)
(Won’t you hold me? Hold me. Hold me)
Even the thickest skin needs holding
(Won’t you hold me? Won’t you hold me?)
(Though I’m strong enough, I still need your love)
Even the thickest skin

You hear me when my lips aren’t moving
You read me when my body’s still
When I’m done, when I’m down
Well you stop the light going out
Oh you stop the light going out
