You walked into my house last night
I couldn't help but notice A light that was long gone still burning strong You were sitting, your fingers like fuses Your eyes were cinnamon You said you stand for every known abuse That was ever threatened to anyone but you And why should I know better by now When I'm old enough not to? While every line speaks the language of love It never held the meaning I was thinking of And I can't decide over right or wrong I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody It's little things like this that matter to me Others feel that you should stand For every known abuse to hand And all the things that they could never see You said you stood for every known abuse That was promised to anyone like you Don't you wish you knew better by now When you're old enough not to? When every line speaks the language of love And never held the meaning I was thinking of And I can't decide over right or wrong You left the feeling that I just do not belong One drink too many and a joke gone too far I see a face drive like a stolen car Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride Harder to hide what you really saw Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse That I've ever seen my way through Don't you wish I knew better by now? Well I think I'm starting to When every line speaks the language of love And never held the meaning I was thinking of And I've lost the line between right or wrong I just want to find the place where I belong Why should you know better by now When you're old enough not to? I wish I knew better by now When I'm old enough not to |

She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share She's deep as a well She's deep as a well Another day wastes away And my heart sinks with the sun A new day's dawning And a new day has not yet begun So, anyway There I was Just sitting on your porch Drinking in your sweetest decline Your sweetest decline What's the use in regrets They're just things we haven't done yet What are regrets? They're just lessons we haven't learned yet Another day draws away And my heart sinks with the sun It's like catching snow on my tongue It's like catching snow on my tongue So, anyway There I was Just sitting on your porch Drink in your sweetest decline The sweetest decline What are regrets? What are regrets? They're just lessons we haven't learned yet It's like catching snow on your tongue You can't pin this butterfly down Can't pin this butterfly down |

Ooh, yeah, you know,
You couldn't cause me any harm. Although, at times, I may get startled, I'm not alarmed. I can see your eyes I know when they're telling me a truth I can feel the heart, Especially when it's on the roof Of my mouth. There's no right or wrong. This isn't a test. And I won't lose my experience. I won't try To put it aside. But it's alright. You know that it's alright. 's alright. It's gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright. And if I told you, Would you never know to guess? Sure, what's the point When little often means so much less. I can see for miles. I know when you're telling me a truth I can feel my heart, Especially now. It's on the roof Of my mouth There's no right or wrong. This isn't a gesture And I don't use my experience. I don't try To let it go by But it's alright. You know that it's alright. It's alright. It's gonna be alright. |

(Beth Orton)
So much stays unknown till the time has come. Did you imagine you could ever be so strong, Then watch your fear just turn into relief? Your sea of doubt become your own belief? Though tears don't come to cry some grief away, The tears will help to keep your need at bay. So come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. Come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. A mother told me just before she died My mother told me just before she died, "Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me. You will fall in love with the very first man you meet." But mother, mother, some will never know; The love that you have is still holding my soul. (Beth Orton & Terry Callier) So come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a little while. Come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. (Beth Orton) You're here just a while... (Terry Callier) Here just a while.... (Beth Orton) So much stays unknown till the time you are strong. Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong, And all your pain just turns into relief? All your doubt becomes your own belief? Though tears don't come to cry some grief away, The years will help to keep your need at bay. (Beth Orton & Terry Callier) So come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. Come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. So come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. Come on now, come on now, child. You're here just a while. (Beth Orton) You're here just a while.... (Terry Callier) Here just a while.... (Beth Orton) You're here just a while You might as well smile, You might as well smile, 'Cause tomorrow, you just don't know. It will pass. It's gonna pass. (Beth Orton & Terry Callier) It will pass in time. It will pass in time. It will pass. It will pass in time. It will pass in time. It will pass. (Beth Orton) It's gonna pass It's gonna pass It's gonna pass in time. (Beth Orton & Terry Callier) It will pass in time It will pass. (Beth Orton) It's gonna pass... (Terry Callier) It will pass in time. (Beth Orton and Terry Callier) It's gonna pass (Beth Orton) It's gonna pass |

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath; Stepping through brilliant shades, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is whatever I want it to mean. If this is where memories are made, I'm gonna like what I see, And everything that I ever took for granted, I'm gonna let it be. I step through every shade, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is whatever I want it to mean. And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be, When it's really all, Make it really all, Compared to what. It's like living in the middle of the ocean, With no future, no past, And everything that's good about now, Well, might just glide right past. I'm stepping through brilliant shades, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is fine just as it is. And everything is sacred here, And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be, When it's really all compared to what. |

Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger 'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger I think about you on a moonlit night And the stars all seem to weep When there's so much to lose There's never any time for sleep Look at me doing all these things without you We always laughed, and you were untrue Where was it we tried hard not to go to? I think that's how I finally came through All the things we took for granted The words still live on in my head All the times I took for granted All the words I never said I think about you in the moonlit night And the stars all seem to weep When there's so much love to give There's never any time for sleep, yeah. So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger And human life was all but left to hunger 'Cause when I stray from the truth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger With or without you With or without you With or without you. |

Some of the worst wrongs
Get righted on three chords Like a promise Or a kiss goodbye When the sneer on your lips Is the liveliest thing, Just alive enough to die I open my heart In my heart there's something telling me To open my heart Open my heart Yeah, I've been blind, And all that's been lost Is a short loop running round my mind Love is like laughter See it happen by chance Like a promise Be a kiss goodbye When the smile on your lips Is the liveliest thing More alive than any sky I've seen I open my heart In my heart is there's something telling me To open my heart I open my heart See I've been blind And all that's been cut Is a short loop running round my mind I open my heart In my heart there's something telling me To open my heart I open my heart See I've been blind And all that's been cut Is a short loop running round my mind It's just running round my mind Running all the time Running all the time It's a short loop A short loop Running round my mind. |

Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her Why must people always want what they can't have? Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp? How do we get so far? How do we move so fast away From the lilac-lillied lake I'm sure we used to stay Is it only a dream away? Took a raft I found across some blood red river Never did find my home in time for my dinner Why must people always want what they never had? Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled? How do we get so far? How do we move so fast away From the lilac-lillied lake I'm sure we used to stay Is it only a dream away? Only a dream away Lost a friend I found down some blood red river Never did find my way home in time to forget her Why must people always want what they can't have? Why must people always take, but forget to ask? How do we get so far? How do we move so fast away From the lilac-lillied lake Where I'm told we used to play Is it only a dream away? Only a dream, only a dream away Away |

When the devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more But looking back in retrospect Did you ever really get what you'd expect? Trying to rectify Got lost a little further You've been trying to justify Find out how and where it came Devil was your angel, but it's not no more The devil was your angel, when you weren't sure Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors Just to put a face to the voice which always home? To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more But when I found my peace There was still mistakes However painfully awaring every step I take Trying to rectify Got lost a little further Well, I've been trying to justify Find out how and where it came The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure. To travel as my angel there's always my witch Gonna take you back down I won't feel no shame Till my dreams Are my own again Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame Till my dreams are my own again Here I am again Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure To travel as my angel there's always my witch Maybe you're an angel, tried to remember you're an angel Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure |

You lose it
Just to find it And as you walk right by it You forget how you got there And why you never meant to stay And I won't watch you waste away And I won't fake another day And if one truth leads you to five I still don't believe in your reasons why I just don't believe in why You love her You need her To feel is to believe her You know it You want it You just can't believe you've got it And I can't watch you waste away And I won't beg you still to stay And if one truth leads you to five I still don't believe in your reasons why I just don't believe in why Just don't believe in why I couldn't watch you walk away And not forget it I couldn't watch you turn to stone And just regret a single day Not a single day Not a single day Not a single day If I lose you Could you find me? Or would you walk right by me? The soul and the spirit Each have got their own limit And I can't waste another second Living in hell like it's some kind of heaven And if one truth leads to another Then isn't there one I can uncover? But there isn't one that I will not discover It's the right time It's my time It's the right time It's my time It's my turn to discover And I won't waste a single second Living in hell as an idea of heaven And if one truth leads you to five I still don't believe in your reasons why And if one truth leads to another Isn't there one we can uncover? But there isn't one that we cannot discover It's the right time It's our time It's our turn to discover. |
