Laura Marling - Gurdjieff’s Daughter lyrics
rate meIf they adorn themselves with crystals
To make them look sharp
Sleep with their hand on a pistol,
They’re afraid of the dark
Well if it wakes you,
Which it has to be known to,
Don’t be alarmed
Darkness can’t do you harm,
Fear will hurt you
Outside the wind is beatin’
A tree to a bed
Don’t fear that it might be meetin’
Some untimely end
They do what they’re supposed
they have to known to
Stand strong and tall,
Weather it all
THEY Take what you can
Never give orders,
Just to be obeyed
Never consider yourself or others
Without knowin that you’ll change
May not surprise you,
Pride has been known to
Rise up a storm
Countless lives lost
Let the hands of pride and I’ll fall
(Chorus)
[Who’ll weep for them? I do, I do
I do sometimes] x 2
You can’t see it, it might be behind you
Keep those eyes wide
You can’t see it, it’s behind you
Keep your eyes wide
(Verse)
Don’t be impressed
By strong personalities
Sincere words
Are rarely sickly sweet
But if they fool you,
Which they have been known to
Don’t lose your sight,
Something’s not right
Look at the stars
Be weary of bein’ Given a name
If for some reason
You’re not considered the same
Once they name you,
They have been known to, lock you in
Statistical sin, they’d rather ignore
(Chorus)
(Outro)
[Keep those eyes
Keep your eyes on the back of your mind] x 3
