My Beautiful Leah


My dearest friend in the whole wide world is Dr. Monica A. Montoya. She is a naturapathic physician, currently working and residing at Chiva Som Health Resort in Hua Hin, Thailand. She has fantastic taste in music and has taught me a lot about musicians I never would have discovered on my own. One such is, PJ Harvey, an avant garde rock musician with music that is weird, deep, addicting and beautiful. Coincidentally, she has a song called "My Beautiful Leah". Most of the words don't really make a good match with my daughter, but the name of the song sure does. Please enjoy. The video is two minutes long.
"My Beautiful Leah"

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
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
