Conceived - Beth Orton

Want to keep your dream alive?

Can I keep it with mine?

But I’m no good for you

I suppose when you get a cold bath

You, you still hold me close at night

Never liked you any less

And the world’s not such a friendly place, is it?

It can grow very cold, very quickly, and for a very long time

If the sun, with some twist of fate, stops giving out it’s shine

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

Not all is as it could be

Like it’s there to remind me

We’ve got to wait and see

Didn’t ask to be conceived

In a loveless embrace

Still we learn to be a warm sun

Around a very cold galaxy

It’s just like you said it could be

Oh, it’s like you said it would be

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

That all is as it should be

Like it’s there to remind me

We’ve got to let it be, yeah

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

That all is as it could be

And it’s there to remind me

We’ve got to wait and see

We’ve got to let it be, yeah

Wait and see, wait and see
