Lyrics Beth Orton – On My Way Home

If I hadn’t met you a mile ago
I might had got there about an hour ago
Got washed away by the rain
Was waiting for the bus it never came

I would be hanging round the fig leaves
Of the town I live in
I’d be running round in circles
I’d be lost without the sin
I’d be lying with my lover
I’d be holding back the tears
If I had known would I have loved you forever
If I had known would I have drunk you today

There’s a miny starry shawl
There’s a thousand starry stars
On the back seat of the car
Where the starry stars are stars

There’s a hole in your pocket
There’s a hole in a bucket
There’s a hole in your shoes where the light came shining through
If I had known would I had loved you forever
If I had known would I have loved for days
If I had known would I had drunk you in forever
If I had known would I had drunk you in a day

If I hadn’t met you a mile ago
I might have been the same but I don’t know
Got washed away by the rain
Was waiting for the bus it never came
