Conceived Lyrics - Comfort Of Strangers - 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 idea 

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, starts 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 

That all is as it could be 

Like it's there to remind me 

We've got to wait and see 

Can I still 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 

Yeah, yeah
