Dawn Chorus - Beth Orton

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
