Beth Orton - Dawn Chorus lyrics
[Beth Orton - Dawn Chorus lyrics]
Dawn breeze brushed my cheek and I
Knew what I had to leave
Dawn chorus came on glorious all
Wrapped up in your sheets
Beneath the noise there was silence
And what was left was ours to surprise us
And you could say that you could say that
You could say that it was my knowing
But, I never knew, no I never knew
No I never knew where this would be going
All the stories people tell and all
The tales I heard from myself
It’s best you know or else get
Told the soft flesh that beats
‘neath your breast
Beneath the noise there’s only silence
And you could blame it you could blame it
You could blame it on my knowing
But, I never knew, no I never knew
No I never knew where this would be going
I was lonely as the moon who longs
For the sun to come by
I’d wait and wait and wait and wait
But never seem to share the same sky
Beneath the noise there was always silence
But what is left comes on to surprise us
And I could say that I could swear that
I could swear that it was my knowing
But, I never knew, no I had no clue
No I never knew where this would be going
Knew what I had to leave
Dawn chorus came on glorious all
Wrapped up in your sheets
Beneath the noise there was silence
And what was left was ours to surprise us
And you could say that you could say that
You could say that it was my knowing
But, I never knew, no I never knew
No I never knew where this would be going
All the stories people tell and all
The tales I heard from myself
It’s best you know or else get
Told the soft flesh that beats
‘neath your breast
Beneath the noise there’s only silence
And you could blame it you could blame it
You could blame it on my knowing
But, I never knew, no I never knew
No I never knew where this would be going
I was lonely as the moon who longs
For the sun to come by
I’d wait and wait and wait and wait
But never seem to share the same sky
Beneath the noise there was always silence
But what is left comes on to surprise us
And I could say that I could swear that
I could swear that it was my knowing
But, I never knew, no I had no clue
No I never knew where this would be going
