Laura Marling - The Shadows lyrics
[Laura Marling - The Shadows lyrics]
Someone was sleeping while she
Did her leaving cowards go in the night
I lay there sleeping
And how could I blame her?
Who has the nerve to fight?
She knows, now, she knows now
Nothing will tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
I tried to persuade her, in vain, of course
Later that's something that I deny
I thought it was better to say in my letter
That I never even tried
She knows, of course, she knows
That one day she'll tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
She's leaving, she's leaving
My altar, she's leaving
Where will I go to pray?
I want her, I need her i long to believe her
Words that she will not say
She knows, of course, I knew
That one day she'd tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
She's leaving, she's leaving
My altar, she's leaving
Where will I go to hide?
She lives in the shadows of my mind
Did her leaving cowards go in the night
I lay there sleeping
And how could I blame her?
Who has the nerve to fight?
She knows, now, she knows now
Nothing will tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
I tried to persuade her, in vain, of course
Later that's something that I deny
I thought it was better to say in my letter
That I never even tried
She knows, of course, she knows
That one day she'll tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
She's leaving, she's leaving
My altar, she's leaving
Where will I go to pray?
I want her, I need her i long to believe her
Words that she will not say
She knows, of course, I knew
That one day she'd tear me apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart
She's leaving, she's leaving
My altar, she's leaving
Where will I go to hide?
She lives in the shadows of my mind
