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 the sweetest decline. The sweetest decline. Sober mind 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 the sweetest decline. The sweetest decline. Sober mind 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 -(mmmm) My mother told me just before she died, (mmmm) 'Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me. You will fall in love with the very first man you meet.' But mama, mama, 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? (mmmm) All your doubt becomes your own belief? (mmmm) 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.

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. |

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 |

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 fly 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 ot it. And I can't watch you waste away And I won't you still to stay. And if one truth leads you to fight I still don't believe in your reasons why. I 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 it 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 unconver., There isn't one 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 a nadir 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? If there isn't one that we cannot discover. So it's our time. It's our time to discover. |
