Pedestal - Beth Orton, Sean Read

I’ve been sitting so high on this pedestal

No need to tell how I might feel if I were to fall

'Cause you don’t know how hard it is to cry

Ever since you have said goodbye

You can’t feel this and not a little strong

You can’t feel this but not a little wrong

How’re you gonna know all the answers

When you don’t know how to question it?

And you don’t know all the questions yet

There’s a look in your eye

Of which we never speak

Will it make you too strong

Or am I gonna feel so weak?

Well, I’m not the same as you

And I don’t want the things you do

And all that preaching never let anyone know

You cannot reap what you cannot sow

You cannot reap what you cannot sow

And they never had the patience to let it be

Sometimes I’ve waited years for what I cannot see

It must be them, not the whole world, that lies

To neither do I wanna have to say goodbye

You can’t feel this and not a little strong

You can’t feel that but not a little wrong

How’m I gonna know all the answers

If I don’t know how to question it?

And I don’t know all the questions yet

There’s a look in your eye

Of which we never speak

Will it make me too strong

Or are you gonna feel so weak?

Well I’m not the same as you

And I don’t have the things you do

And all this preaching never let anyone know

You cannot reap what you cannot sow

You cannot reap what you cannot sow
