Did you imagine you could ever be so strong,
Then watch your fear just turn into relief?
Your sea of doubt become your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
A mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died,
"Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me.
You will fall in love with the very first man you meet."
But mother, mother, some will never know;
The love that you have is still holding my soul.
(Beth Orton & Terry Callier)
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a little while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
(Beth Orton)
You're here just a while...
(Terry Callier)
Here just a while....
(Beth Orton)
So much stays unknown till the time you are strong.
Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong,
And all your pain just turns into relief?
All your doubt becomes your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The years will help to keep your need at bay.
(Beth Orton & Terry Callier)
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
(Beth Orton)
You're here just a while....
(Terry Callier)
Here just a while....
(Beth Orton)
You're here just a while
You might as well smile,
You might as well smile,
'Cause tomorrow, you just don't know.
It will pass. It's gonna pass.
(Beth Orton & Terry Callier)
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
(Beth Orton)
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass in time.
(Beth Orton & Terry Callier)
It will pass in time
It will pass.
(Beth Orton)
It's gonna pass...
(Terry Callier)
It will pass in time.
(Beth Orton and Terry Callier)
It's gonna pass
(Beth Orton)
It's gonna pass
Elizabeth Caroline Orton (born 14 December 1970) is an English musician, known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit, Andrew Weatherall, Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. Her UK/US first solo album, Trailer Park, received much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the BRIT Award-winning album Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. Her 2006 album, Comfort of Strangers, was followed by a break during which Orton gave birth to her daughter and collaborated with the British guitarist Bert Jansch. Orton returned with Sugaring Season in 2012, which moved towards a purer acoustic sound, followed by a return to electronic music with Kidsticks, released in 2016.
Orton's music has been featured in the movies How to Deal and Vanilla Sky, and also in the TV series Felicity, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Roswell, Grey's Anatomy and Manifest, providing her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.
