Someone's Daughter Lyrics

Beth Orton Someone's Daughter

I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the day ends
         I wanna see your smiling face before the new day begins
                You never know what it means to see
         To see the sunlight in your hair and eyes and everywhere

                      I wanna shout about it
                      But I keep quiet about it
                       Wanna laugh about it
                      But I don't joke about it
                       Wanna live without it
                      But I can't do without it

              I'm someone's daughter, not a son but a sun
              Can I ease your pain till the morning comes
               I'm no one's daughter revel on to the sun
              Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes

                    Keep lookin' for the reason
                      high and low to let it go
                       Keep losin' my mind
                lookin' for the peace that I'll never find

             I wanna know how it feels to be the sunlight
                in your hair and eyes and everywhere

                      I wanna shout about it
                      But I keep quiet about it
                       Wanna laugh about it
                      But I don't joke about it
                       Wanna live without it
                      But I can't do without it

              I'm someone's daughter, not a son but a sun
              Can I ease your pain till the morning comes
               I'm no one's daughter revel on to the sun
              Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes
