She Cries Your Name Lyrics
Falling from the western selves
To find yourself alone again
Wonderin' where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Scratch beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She's cryin' out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed??
There's a wasteland in his soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out beside the hill
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
To find yourself alone again
Wonderin' where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She's cryin' out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed??
There's a wasteland in his soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out beside the hill
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Absolutely gorgeous song.
I love this song. I think it's about loneliness and the evanescence of love in spite of/because of its strength.
I have to agree with formicula its a gorgous song and I can get lost in its depths quite easy--beth has a great voice
I believe you are listening to the dying embers of whatever relationship the two of them had, Orbit and Orton, it's almost burnt to a crisp right there in the studio while she's recording Superpinkymandy (where this song appeared 3 years before Trailer Park), right there while he's producing it. Like this song, the song Where Do You Go also echoes the loneliness that arises when your lover is traveling - presumably he's hustling in and out of airports where he's spreading production goodness around, I mean his name is on tons of albums and EPs at the time, early 90s, easy enough to believe he's got the frequent flyer thing going. That said, she wasn't exactly a homebody herself - she tells a story of going to Thailand and he comes and gets her and convinces her she has a singing career ahead of her. But that's in the past by this time.
The wound opens deeper on the song Roll the Dice, and they're bleeding all over the mixing board by the finale, Release Me. By '96 she's calling Trailer Park he debut. As if not only Superpinkymandy but the whole affair is something she'd rather forget. Then she's her own act and doesn't perform with him again until a guest appearance 2001 - I kind of doubt if they were much on speaking terms between times.
