Beth Orton › Lyrics › Mount Washington

Watching the sun coming up Mount Washington
Forever testing your intention
Watching the sun going down over Mount Zion
And what you sing you never can say

It ain't because there's any question
Do it to before it's done onto you
Now it ain't because there's any question
Your love's out of frame

Nobody can keep you from the one you know you are
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time that you don't walk 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
No it ain't because you ever question
Your love's out of view

And nobody can keep you from the ones you know you love
Nobody to steal away your sway the way you walk
May there never be a time that you don't live through
May there never be a time when you don't walk 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 through

Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
Be a star, be an altar and they will hang it on you
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
