Frightened Child

Natalie Imbruglia · Left Of The Middle [1997]

I hear your silent scream

Deep in your private dream

Two ways to go from here

One way will bring you near

Fragile wish



Full moon

No rain

No shame

That distance still remains

More shades of grey to come

We've been through more than one

Close your eyes



Like a frightened child fragile in spirit

Like a wind blowing wild

No name you can give it

Like an infidel seeing the light for the very first time



No tricks

No slight of hand

Find somewhere safe to land before your walls were shaken

But now the whole thing's breaking and it makes you feel



Like a frightened child fragile in spirit

Like a wind blowing wild

No name you can give it

Like an infidel seeing the light for the very first time



Yes

You're right

What is right

Yes

It's night

I can tell



Yes

It shows

Yes

I know

You're a beautiful stranger to yourself
