I've been working on a fantastic collaboration EP with Lawrence Grey featuring Leave Some Love Behind, which you can download now on iTunes.
A soft side – even for the cynics.
Everyone wants to leave something behind when they’re gone - some sort of legacy. The human condition.
Leave Some Love Behind - Semi-Finalist for Best Song Lyrics at the UK Songwriting Contest 2015
Lyrics by Mick Evans
I ain’t looking for Jesus
to help me live my life -
I aint keen on Believers
telling me wrong from right
I ain’t begging forgiveness
to help me sleep at night -
I aint cursing my weakness
when bells of midnight strike
But don’t come for me yet -
now’s not my time
Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -
gotta leave some love behind
I ain’t ticking no wish list
to right for all my wrongs -
I ain’t needing some headstone
stroking me when I’m gone
But don’t come for me yet -
now’s not my time
Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -
gotta leave some love behind
Got no lovers - got no kids
no salad days left to miss
no real clue about all this
just got this burning wish
Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
at the end of the road
a little light still shines -
gotta leave some love behind
Gotta leave some love behind
gotta leave some love behind
make it on through the night
when all the hope has died -
gotta leave some love behind
