Court Yard Hounds - Amelita Lyrics
Amelita, come to see yaAnd I finally now know the truthOh I found you, in your costume,And the comb in your hair is the proofAm I right, Amelita?You just stand there with nothing to sayWhile they watch yo play the leaderSo I’ve come here to take you awayOr they love you, and we lost youWhen he promised to make you a starOh he fooled you, and it cost youAnd the age on your face show the scarsOh my good friend, I can see youAs a young girls with stars in her eyesWhat a beauty, such a dancer,Now you lay out your heart as a prizeHave you no pride?You’ve got the rest of your lifeI take your hand, let’s go tonightJust leave it all, I promise you’llBe fine across the bridge, the lights of townYou smile, and never turn aroundI remember you and AmelitaHave you no pride?You’ve got the rest of your lifeWhere have you gone my friendThen light in your eyes is gone, gone, goneI take your hand, let’s go tonightJust leave it all, I promise you’llBe fine across the bridge, the lights of townYou smile, and turn around and runAmelita, have you no pride?You’ve got the rest of your lifeI take your hand, let’s go tonightJust leave it all, I promise you’llBe fine across the bridge, the lights of townYou smile, and then you turn around and then runAmelita, have you no ?ride?You’ve got the rest of your lifeHave you no pride?Hey yeah
