Beth Orton - She Cries Your Name Lyrics

Falling from the western sun to find yourselves alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice calls across the starlit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain


Cut beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is a truth to be seen
She keeps crying out your name
But her scream sound the same
How fickle fate can be

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Birds that scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given in time that is real
And there's a wasteland in your soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out an ideal

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
