Beth Orton - Blood Red River Lyrics
Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How do we get so far?
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Took a raft I found across some blood red river
Never did find my home in time for my dinner
Why must people always want what they never had?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away
Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream, only a dream away
Away

Beth Orton Blood Red River Comments
I bought a couple tix to go with my wife to see Beth play in 2013. We filed for divorce before the concert but still went together. Her singing this song during that concert, while I was sitting next to my soon to be ex, was a pretty brutal moment. But in a good way :) Cheers!
Adoro a beth, adicto a su lirica y su pluma elegante y afilada..... larga vida her majesty, desde 🇨🇱 con love supreme
Elizabeth Caroline "Beth" Orton (born 2 July 1971) is an English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognized for her collaborations with the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. American films and television programs such as Grey's Anatomy have featured her music and provided her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.

Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake

Why must people always want what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake?
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away, away
Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take but forget to ask?
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream, only a dream away, away

She fixes you through the screen of your computer with her grey eyes and when she starts to sing your definitly lost.
It should read: you' re def... .Sorry.
Juste magnifique
she kept me company through many a long night.
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's left.
she reminds me of my all-time favorite woman.
most of the views for this video are from the homework lol
Can u really see who viewed a song?
aha I did seth lakeman
Crap video
The lyrics, Beth Orton, the music, so beautiful my soul is touched
amazing song
@muffinman333 cuz it's amazing
it's amazing when an artist can sound EXACTLY like the studio album
I don't know why but I love this song. <3
The "emotion" is unconvincing and the song is frankly boring.
@hairymarx are u mad....theres no one has a voice like her.....its haunting shit,dont knock her
its sad but got me tru some hard times,stolen car is the one tho........what a voice,luv her
Best femail singer out there, CLASS.
cóż można napisać o tym kawałku? mało jest tak pięknych utworów.
beautiful.
@hairymarx shut up and get some taste
I remember discovering her for the first time watching her perform this song on Jools Holland in 99 or 2000 and being extremely moved. Was looking for that performance, but this is equally as good. Love her.
I realy like it <3
I'm clearly in a minority but I think she is overated - a cross between kirsty mcColl and joni mitchell without reaching the greatness of either.
She looks so sad singing this. To this day I'm not quite sure what this song is about, but it's definitely not something happy.
hermoso
because the world is overflowing with shite.
you sure "SUPPLY" isn't below, covered by her guitar...?
i havent got a soul but if i did ?
love it!! got me through my travels a thousand times.
beth told me she loved me once. This is one of her greatest individual performances in my opinion. Just incredible. Ted Barnes is also a marvel.
any news about live shows?
We have a rare unseen full band live concert of Beth in our archive.
I have posted a track on You Tube visit our site to take a look.
I know. She is amazing.
This is one of my favourite songs, Beth Orton sings so deep...beautiful!
her best.. haunting yet beautiful.
i am in love..
cosmic thing!!!!!!!!!
love it...
