lyrics

Forget the handshakes, forget the how-do-you-do's
I spend my life avoiding people asking what I do
I've never known, i've never tried
just been trying to stay alive
keep my head about the water being taken by the tide

But I did my best, my best for you,
so that you could have the freedom to do what you want to do
Yes I did my best, my best is done
But it's worth it just to know the best for you is yet to come.

Why do I have to wait until i'm old and I am grey
To rid myself of services and debts I have to pay
When I was pushed out of the nest
and I didn't have a clue
I wish somebody had asked me what i really want to do.

But I did my best, my best for you.
So that you could have the freedom to do what you want to do,
yes I did my best my best is done
But it's worth it just to know the best for you is yet to come.

Well I won't miss the corporate calls or competing with my peers
taking sides just isn't natural when we're living on a sphere
and the day when it all ends i'll take a breath and start to tread
leaving bitterness behind me for the sweetness up ahead.

But I did my best, my best for you.
So that you could have the freedom to do what you want to do,
yes I did my best my best is done
But it's worth it just to know the best for you is yet to come.

Child

If not my money problem I would have bought the CD version. The moment i heared "Child" it was clear to me, that I need more. My fav is "Not enough", because it takes a different approach on beeing alone. pikolowet

Over & Out - EP
by Natalie Holmes

supported by 7 fans who also own “For You”

I'm always open-minded - and open-eared - for a good singer-songwriter album, especially if well-versed songwriting is paired with a strong and pleasant voice. Natalie Holmes matches this pattern just perfectly, and there's a lot more exquisite music to be discovered here, on her Bandcamp site. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
