She Cries Your Name
Beth Orton, Rob Dougan
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Falling from the western shore to find yourselves alone again, Wondering where you have been, Your lonely voice calls across the starlit coast, Reaching out to be seen. [Chorus:] 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 trick to be seen, She keeps crying out your name, But her scream sound the same, How fickle fate can be. [Chorus] Birds that scream for territory can learn to sing euphorically, Give him time an' he's real, And there's a wasteland in your soul the burned out trees will leave you cold, Living out an ideal. [Chorus: x2]
