Wave - Beth Orton

If I were a wave — you’d have caught me

If you were my light — I would fade

If you were the sea — you’d not turn your back on me

I’d shake your fury — right out off of me

I was crying out for you, before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

I was crying out for you, before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

If I am wave — come and catch me

If I am all wrong — make me right

When I am a sound — I was twisting out loud

Shake that fury — right on out to see

I was crying out for you, before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

I was crying out for you, before I ever knew

Crying out to you, breathe me in

And all in all what the sea forgets

And all in all what the sea forgets

All in all remember not to forget

To shake the fury right out off of me

And all in all let the sea forget

And all in all let the sea forget

All in all remember not to forget

To shake the fury right out off of me

That you and I were always going to be
