Concrete Sky Lyrics
Faith has a good side
Still, everyone she ever loved,
They all turned bad
Constance has his own way of breathing
You know you couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried
There's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
I've seen your good side
But I still don't know just what it is that you might want
See, you got your own way of moving
And you know you could save it
Save my soul
Save some for you
Hold my soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
So much time
Got lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound, forgetting,
And the worst thing
I've been out walking,
Don't do too much talking
Don't take too much time
Wouldn't take all your time
'Cause it's as precious as mine
Save my soul
Save some for you
Save your soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling
And there's a concrete sky
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
And you're as precious as mine
Still, everyone she ever loved,
They all turned bad
Constance has his own way of breathing
You know you couldn't will him to survive
Couldn't will him if you if you tried
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
But I still don't know just what it is that you might want
See, you got your own way of moving
And you know you could save it
Save some for you
Hold my soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling
Falling from the trees again
And I know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
Got lost in my mind
But I know now what I must rely on
It's a sound, forgetting,
And the worst thing
Don't do too much talking
Don't take too much time
Wouldn't take all your time
'Cause it's as precious as mine
Save some for you
Save your soul
I feel like I'm falling
I feel like I'm falling
Falling from the trees again
And you know now why
It's not coming 'round too soon
It's harder than a heartbreak too
It's tough enough what love will do
And you're as precious as mine
And you're as precious as mine

This is full of errors, I'm going to submit the lyrics to my favorite Beth Orton song.
This song is mindblowing when played acoustically live
The way I'm feeling right now.
I have to say I only discovered this song because Ryan Adams provides guest vocals mixed into the chorus. But still, there's this real sense of the futility of love in these lyrics. Getting to the point where it doesn't even effect you anymore is scary, and is just par for the course.
The line, "I've been out walking, don't do too much talking" is a reference to "These Days" by Jackson Browne (his best song).
I let it wash over me, without any idea of what to do next.
I wholeheartedly agree. I saw her play this last night live, at St George's Church, Brighton (England). It was a beautiful concert, even though Beth was quite nervous, and feeling a little "baby-brained" (she's just given birth). A beautiful song. It was the first time I heard it. Thanks, Beth :)
