Got To Leave (Reggae Version) - Pinky Dread - Lyric Video

Got To Leave (Reggae Version) - Pinky Dread - Lyric:
I'll leave my land for you
I'll leave my fields and I will go
far away from here.
Weeping, I'll cross the garden
and with your memories, I will go
far away from here.
By day I'll live thinking about your smiles
by night the stars shall keep my company.
You will be like a light shining down on my path
I go now, but I swear that I'll be back.
At time of leaving, a kiss and a flower
an "I love you", a caress
and a goodbye.
It's a scant luggage
for such a long journey
Sorrows weigh heavy in your heart.
Beyond the sea, there'll be a place
where the sun is brighter
each morning on
My fate will be forged
by the stones on the path.
What is beloved to us
will always be left behind.
With my hands and your love
I will manage to find another dream,
far away from here.
By day I'll live thinking about your smiles
by night the stars shall keep my company.
You will be like a light shining down on my path
I go now, but I swear that I'll be back.
At time of leaving, a kiss and a flower
an "I love you", a caress
and a goodbye.
It's a scant luggage
for such a long journey
Sorrows weigh heavy in the heart.
Beyond the sea, there'll be a place
where the sun is brighter
each morning on
My fate will be forged
by the stones on the path.
What is beloved to us
will always be left behind.


Pinky Dread aka George A. Henry the son of "Jamaica's First Lady of Songs" Hortense Ellis (known for his work with Lee Scratch Perry, Bunny Lee plus Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare and the nephew of Alton Ellis, the "Godfather of Rocksteady".
Pinky started singing at the age of 6 years old. He was singing in his church and school choirs. At the age of 12 years old, he won a singing contest, the Jamaican Band Wagon. His win allowed him to take the stage with non-other than legendary Bob Marley with whom he shared vocals in five songs.
In 1975, Pinky started recording for the Twinkle Brothers Talent Agency. He did this by winning another competition for the Twinkle Brothers Talent Show. He was then flown to England where he recorded two songs "Children Cry" and "Street of Babylon". Just then, a series of setbacks, happened and for a while he stayed away from recording new music. In 1979, when he was 18 years old, he received a call from Newton Merit, Jimmy Cliff’s manager. He was asked to audition (at Cliff’s home) for a spot on the Jimmy Cliff Show.
Since then he has been recording and singing non-stop, touring Japan and Europe, but always coming back to his beloved Jamaica. His most recent solo album was Change released in 2000.
