Feral Children Lyrics - Comfort Of Strangers - Beth Orton

Sat on her steps, in the pouring rain 

Saw every constellation she might navigate again 

Each and every line she might wear in time 

Baptized by the rain and the euphoria of pain 

Could kiss or punch, sober or drunk 

Lifted way high or taken down deep into 

Blue space where the rules change 

Feral children know how to survive 

Feral children can fight for their lives 

Feral children hear what no one knows 

There's no words for the infinity of ghosts, the infinity of ghosts 

Hold on, hold on 

Holding back the sea seems unlikely 

She'll tell you, I can forgive you 

But I can't forget you and you won't, you know you won't forget me 

Hold on, hold on 

Holding back the fire seems to flame desire 

Try parting the water, crossing the sea 

She'll tell you, I can forgive you 

But I can't forget you and you won't, you know you won't forget me 

You know you won't forget me 

You know you won't forget me
