Absinthe Lyrics by Beth Orton
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
My love's a star you only saw the traces of
What went before is not no more, it's the embers of
People always catching names too late
And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change

I could hear rebellion rising
I could feel the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home

My love's a ball I threw to you
Once I was gone, you caught it too
Love ignored erodes in time, changes shape, went and changed your mind
All I really needed was someone to take me home
Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone

I could feel rebellion rising
I could hear the stars aligning
I could see the wave rising
But I never did seem to find my way back home
No, I never did wanna find my way back home
My love's a star you only saw the traces of    What went before is not no more, it's the embers of    People always catching names too late    And we're all sorry there's no time to make the change       I could hear rebellion rising    I could feel the stars aligning    I could see the wave rising    But I never did seem to find my way back home       My love's a ball I threw to you    Once I was gone, you caught it too    Love ignored erodes in time, changes shape, went and changed your mind    All I really needed was someone to take me home    Enough absinthe can crush your spirit to the bone       I could feel rebellion rising    I could hear the stars aligning    I could see the wave rising    But I never did seem to find my way back home    No, I never did wanna find my way back home
