Bobby Gentry Lyrics - Beth Orton

Blue and you lean on me, you know that your crushin' me 

You're soaking and I cannot breathe 

You're seedin' the clouds, you're buildin' a web 'cross the night 

An unusual night meant for me 

Collectin' dead rainbows from puddles and mires 

Takin' them home to warm by the fire 

This flower's in bloom, it'll never expire 

It's just comin' 'round again 

I'm tearin' my heart from the seams 

I keep tearin' my heart on the seams 

But I'll keep pushin' ya 'cause I know just where you're going 

Yeah, I'll be pushin' ya till it's to far to get back home 

Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light 

I can do what I like 

Blue and you lean on me, you know that your crushin' me 

You're soakin' but still I can breathe 

You're seedin' the clouds, you're buildin' a web 'cross the night 

Saved by unusual daydreamin' ways 

I'm tearin' my heart from the seams 

I keep tearin' my heart at the seams 

But I'll keep pushin' ya 'cause I know just where you're goin' 

Yeah, I'll be pushin' ya till it's to far to get back home 

Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light 

I can do what I like 

Yeah, I'll be lovin' ya like it's all I've ever known 

Yeah, I'll be givin' ya till it's too far to get back home 

I'll put my heart on strike 'cause at the speed of light 

I can be out of sight 

Yeah, I'll be lovin' ya like it's all I've ever known 

Yeah I'll be lovin' ya till it's to far to get back home 

Won't put my soul on strike 'cause at the speed of light 

I can do what I like, yeah
