Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim lyrics
[Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim lyrics]
There's a house across the river
But alas I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty that
The flowers seem to grin
There's a house across the river but
Alas I cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that
I never jumped in
There's a boy across the river
With short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover and
I want to be his peer
There's a boy across the river
But alas I cannot swim
I never will get to put my arms around him
There's a life across the river
That was meant for me
Instead I live my life in constant misery
There's a life across the river
But I do not see
Why I should please, those who
Will never be please, d
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
I would rather by dry than held
Up by a golden gun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
But alas I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty that
The flowers seem to grin
There's a house across the river but
Alas I cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that
I never jumped in
There's a boy across the river
With short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover and
I want to be his peer
There's a boy across the river
But alas I cannot swim
I never will get to put my arms around him
There's a life across the river
That was meant for me
Instead I live my life in constant misery
There's a life across the river
But I do not see
Why I should please, those who
Will never be please, d
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
There is gold across the river
But I don't want none
I would rather by dry than held
Up by a golden gun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
Singing work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
