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 -(mmmm)
My mother told me just before she died, (mmmm)
"Oh darling, darling, don't you be like me.
You will fall in love with the very first man you meet."
But mama, mama, 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? (mmmm)
All your doubt becomes your own belief? (mmmm)
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.

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 :
