Laura Marling - What He Wrote lyrics

Your rating:

Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say
Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away
He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay

He wrote
I'm broke
Please send for me
But I am broken too
And spoken for
Do not tempt me

Her skin is white and I'm light as the sun
So holy light shines on the things you have done

So I asked him how he became this man
How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands
And where is the lamb that gave you your name
He had to leave though I begged him to stay

Left me alone when I needed the light
Fell to my knees and I wept for my life
If he had of stayed you might understand
If he had of stayed you never would have taken my hand

He wrote
Oh love
Please, send for me
But I am broken too
And spoken for
Do not tempt me

And where is the lamb that gave you your name
He had to leave though I begged him to stay

Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
Me fighting him, fighting like fighting dawn
And the waves came and stole him and took him to war

He wrote
I'm broke
Please, send for me
But I'm broken too
And spoken for
Do not tempt me

Forgive me here, I cannot stay
Cut out my tongue there is nothing to save
Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away
He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must say

We write
That's alright
I miss his smell
We speak 
When spoken to
And that suits us well

That suits us well
That suits me well
