i'll celebrate halloween later
mount washington, by beth orton
Watching the sun coming up over Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And what you sing you never could say
It ain't because there's any question
do it to before it's done unto you
It ain't because there's any question you love out of frame
And nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
Need there never be a time that you don't walk through
May there never be a time that you don't live through
Be a star, be an altar, and I will hang it on you
Watching the sun coming up over St Jude street
Forever testing your invention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And once awake you never sleep on
It ain't because there's any question
Do unto as you'd have done by you
It ain't because you ever question
Your love out of view
And nobody can keep you from the ones you love
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't walk through
May there never be a time when you don't live through
Be a star, be an altar and I will hang it on you
You are, you are alone into the unknown
You are, you are alone into the unknown
May there never be a time that I don't love you
May there never be a time that you don't pull thru
Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
Bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on...

um yeah...i feel like a dork cuz i didn't know that it is, for real, a song. then again, there's a smile creepin' across my face because i felt it anyway. ;)
Beth Orton is one of my favorite musical artists...
