THE SWEETEST DECLINE ~ BETH ORTON ~

Beth Orton talented songwriter penning poignant,playful, hopelessly romantic, sometimes funny songs. Hope you enjoy the experience.
She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share.
Shes deep as a well.
Shes deep as a well.

Another day wastes away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
A new days dawning,
And a new day has not yet begun.

So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind

Whats the use in regrets
Theyre just things we havent done yet.
What are regrets?
Theyre just lessons we havent learned yet.

Another day draws away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
Its like catching snow on my tongue.
Its like catching snow on my tongue.

So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drink in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind

What are regrets?
What are regrets?
Theyre just lessons we havent learned yet.
Its like catching snow on your tongue.
You cant pin this butterfly down.
Cant pin this butterfly down.

@1jasmineful

yes, a very distinctive tone.. glad you enjoyed.

[lelehart3]

Simply the most loveliest singer songwriter. Heartfelt, melodic, romantic

and makes feel as if I am in love all over again.

This was a "love on first sight"...This song sounds so undescribably beautyful. It is like "pure sunshine made out of music"...Hard to exsplain. But I'll love this song to the end of my life. For sure.

Have you ever heard such beauty in modern music? This is my all time favorite song of the nineties! Why more people don't know about her is beyond me. She is truly an artist above the rest.

Hi again.

this is great visual to this video. I had never heard of her before. Glad you put this up, I now have a new artist to discover. I will have to go buy one or two of her CD's.

When will you put up another one of you?

thanks again for posting this. your beautiful soul shines through again.
