Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows lyrics
[Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows lyrics]
He could fall and she can weep
But as holy are my feet and hard with mention
That dear they may not speak
We feel tight when there is tension
And our eyes can make us weak
And his heart was full of fire
At the man he had become
And his soul seldom higher with
The falsities of fun
Could embrace sweet desires and
Moments as they passed
But he feared it ever more
When he saw it didn't last
We walk up Holland Avenue
And watch the rich as they consume
Their product made our hearts exhume
An emptiness unrivaled by
A hunger that I could control
He'd pray up to his God
That he might save their soul
The grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear
And I believe we are meant to be
Seen and not to be understood
And I want to be held by those arms
I want to be held by those arms
You'll work your thumbs they are sore
And you'll work my heart till it's raw
And you'll call and you'll call
But you'll never be told
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
We are basic light we are basic light
But as holy are my feet and hard with mention
That dear they may not speak
We feel tight when there is tension
And our eyes can make us weak
And his heart was full of fire
At the man he had become
And his soul seldom higher with
The falsities of fun
Could embrace sweet desires and
Moments as they passed
But he feared it ever more
When he saw it didn't last
We walk up Holland Avenue
And watch the rich as they consume
Their product made our hearts exhume
An emptiness unrivaled by
A hunger that I could control
He'd pray up to his God
That he might save their soul
The grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear
And I believe we are meant to be
Seen and not to be understood
And I want to be held by those arms
I want to be held by those arms
You'll work your thumbs they are sore
And you'll work my heart till it's raw
And you'll call and you'll call
But you'll never be told
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
We are basic light we are basic light
