Bobby Gentry Lyrics by Beth Orton

The Other Side of Daybreak

0

Blue and you lean on me
You know that you're crushing me
You're soaking and I cannot breathe
You're seeding the clouds
You're building a web 'cross the night
An unusual night meant for me

Collecting dead rainbows
From puddles and mires
Taking them home to warm by the fire
This flower's in bloom
It'll never expire
It's just coming round again

I'm tearing my heart from the seams
I keep tearing my heart on the seams
But I'll keep pushing you 'cause I know just where you're going
Yeah I'll be pushing you till it's too far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike
'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like

Blue and you lean on me
You know that you're crushing me
You're sulking, but still I can breathe
You're seeding the clouds
You're building a web 'cross the night
Saved by unusual daydreaming ways

I'm tearing my heart from the seams
I keep tearing my heart at the seams
But I'll keep pushing you 'cause I know just where you're going
Yeah I'll keep pushing you till it's too far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike
'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like

Yeah, I'll keep loving you like it's all I've ever known
Yeah, I'll be giving up till it's too far to get back home
I'll put my heart on strike
'Cause at the speed of light, I can be out of sight

Yeah, I'll be loving you like it's all I've ever known
Yeah, I'll be loving you till it's too far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike
'Cause at the speed of light, I can do what I like
