Альбом Beth Orton

Now your sitting on a Paris train laughing at your own jokes again
Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light
Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands
When all the world's airbrushed it's a sacred bond of trust
Sometimes, sometimes I see right through the scenery
The first place that's on my mind the last place I find each time
Sometimes, I swim beyond the scenery
The last place that's on my mind
The first place I find each time

Now I'm sitting on a Paris train molten ash falls like rain
Fire burns the trees it's a beautiful fatality
Love the way you stand your ground sea moves as mercury
To break its perfect skin to dare to dive within

Sometimes, sometimes I see much more than is good for me
The first thing that's on my mind the last place I'd look each time
Sometimes, I slip inside the imagery and
The last thing that's on my mind's
The first thing I'll do each time

Stars racing to burn out
Just stars racing to burn out
A storm waiting to break
Like trees standing black against the sky
This was inevitable, inevitable
Sometimes, sometimes we can see beyond our history
The last place you hope to find the one that's been there all the time
Sometimes, sometimes we can swim beyond the scenery
And the first place that's on your mind
The first place you'd find each time

Faith has a good side still everyone she ever loved they all turned bad
Constance his own way of breathing and you know
You couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried, and there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too

I've seen your good side but I still don't know just what it is
That you might want
See you've got your own way of moving
And you know you could save me
Save your soul, I'll save some of you
Save my soul, feel like I'm falling fell like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon, it's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do

So much time gets lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound and forgetting, ain't the worst thing
I've been out walking don't do too much talking
Wouldn't take too much time, wouldn't take all your time
Cos it's as precious as mine Save my soul, I'll save some for you
Save my soul feel like I'm falling feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again and you know now why
It's not coming round too soon, it's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
And you're as precious as mine...

Watching the sun coming up Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And what you sing you never could say
It ain't because there's and question do it to before it's done unto you
It ain't because there's any question you love out of frame
And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
Need there never be a time that you don't walk through
May there never be a time that you don't live through
Be a star, be an altar, and I will hang it on you

Watching the sun coming up over St Jude street
Forever testing your invention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And once awake you never sleep on
It ain't because there's any question
Do unto as you'd have done by you
It ain't because you ever question
Your love out of view
And nobody can keep you from the ones you love
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't walk through
May there never be a time when you don't live through
Be a star, be an altar and I will hang it on you
Your are, your are alone into the unknown
You are, you are alone into the unknown
May there never be a time that I don't love you
May there never be a time that you don't pull thru
Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
Bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on...

Paint what you know not what you see
Hope binds reason thankfully
Know how it when something fits
Then there's just a question of being it

And I'd do anything to see you smile again to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
And I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made of secrets like these
Chinese whispered memories

Nothing is done without effect there's nothing done that won't reflect
If I pull one brick from an endless wall
Would it drown us all

And I'd do anything to see you smile again to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to fear your pain
And I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what's it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispered memories

You just need love like you say you do
There need never be a time when it won't get through
You know how it is when something fits
Now there's just a question of doing it

And I'd do anything to see you smile again to see you smile again
But I'd go anywhere so as not to feel your pain
And I wanna live and the fear is all gone
I wanna protect and I know what it's from
I wasn't made for secrets like these
Chinese whispered memories

We lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds move by far too fast
You said it was a night where anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine

We, we burn our boats each new year
Silently watching the flames and the old life disappear
We're burning new sunrise into yesterday's skies
An ashen fingerprint melts into the sea
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine

And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine

There's something kinda funny 'bout a man making money
Of a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he likes to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl
Carmell, where you gonna run to
When the sky comes crashing in on you
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
Is it true what they say about you do you know it too?

There's nothing very funny 'bout a man spending money
On a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he loves to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl
Carmell, where you gonna run to
When the sky comes crashing in on you
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else

And I can't control myself
And I won't be on one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
It's true what they say about you and I know it too
I always knew it too

My house was built for loving not a theatre of war
I take the poison for the cure
But he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
And I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

I've watched and learnt to lead a decent life
But meanwhile I'm dying inside
Cos he's my man and I keep doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
But I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

I was built for loving not playing at war
And I leave justice in the good hands of the law
But he's my man and I've been doing him wrong
Yeah he's my man and I've done him wrong
But I'm praying for the strength not to carry on

Do you even know what's going on in a heart anymore
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove
You were still breathing but wouldn't move
Okay, okay what a thing to choose this one's gonna bruise
You'll learn one day won't you
What you want is bad for the souls in the rain
Afraid of the dark still in pain still in pain

Did you ever notice how the wind didn't change that much
Fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say
That you could trust me but I was lying anyway
okay, okay what a thing to lose
Left out in the rain, misuse
You'll learn one day won't you
You'll learn some day won't you
What you had was good for a while then it changed
Got too intense made it strange
And I feel bad for you I feel bad for you
But I don't know why I don't know why
Cos I'm as dead as you

If we should meet again on some darkened street
Pack in it all and heed to the call
Beat a drum to decide on a sketch or design
Can you see to the light of bare winter night
And wipe out the sun form your eyes that vicious sky
Wipe out the sun from your eyes cos some sleep to lie
See the way you are fell the way you move
So sweet, so deep the sum of it all
So deep so sweet I see you again

Once you fell something real let me know let it show
I could be your your honey and let it go there you go
And if you should need me through someone else's eyes
And if into me you see more than disguise
I come down to your knees and if ears could speak
I like to think what they'd say to inspire
Your sweetest desire and since I first met you I found the love I lost
It's just like you looks just like you
You move so sweet so deep the sum of it all
So deep so sweet I see you again

If we should meet again in some darkened room
I hope to my soul it could be soon
Beat a path to my side a sketch for design
Can you see through the light to bare winter night
And wipe out the sun form your eye the vicious sky
Wipe out the sun form your eyes some sleep to lie
See the way you are feel the way you move so deep
So cool you burn through it all it's the shape of your hand
A tone I understand and since I first met you I found the love I lost
Look just like you looks just like you
You move see you again see you again

Tired but I ain't sleeping
Thinking about some sad affair
And why i should be leaving cos some of these thoughts
Only seem to take me outta here
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make

Thinking about tomorrow tired form all the time I spare
On what I still believe in
When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make

So long bye my friend so long
So long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading form you
Nothing could save me form you, so long

Tired but I ain't dreaming falling into solid air
And why I must be leaving or one of these days
I'm gonna pull out all my hair
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
These habits are so hard to break and they're so easy to make
So long, bye my friend so long so long will it ever happen again
You know that I've been waiting for you
I've been creating for you so long
You know the light ain't fading from you
Nothing could save me form you so long
