Ben Howard - Jessica Lyrics

Jessica Song Lyrics
Jessica by Ben Howard 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
They dont want to drown in sex [?]
Don’t you rеmember, don’t you forget
It was only last December
That girl you called Julliet
You’ve had more than me

Someone hits the side of the car
Pale faces baby its 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
Morales 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
On my shoulder
On my shoulder

One man of only honestly
Made a mistake for which
He can never ever 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
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, hes crying
He’s crying so loud now
He’s crying so loud now
He’s crying so loud now
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?
