Laura Marling - Not Done Travelling lyrics

rate me

I took the winter to travel

Headed for the road

Couldn’t bear no sunshine

I took off on my own

You won’t see me till springtime

Never see me again

I'm headed for the east coast

To find my wayward friend

He likes the mountains in the daytime

He’s fond of the desert at night

I think he likes to be alone

So I curl up at his side

You won’t see me till morning

You may never see me again

If I choose to run some

I’d run till the mountains end

I think he likes my silence

I think he likes my smell

I like the way you hit your teeth

When you talk about what you know well

You won’t hear a peep from me boy

I may never say a word again

Oh before I take my silence

I’d like to get to know you friend

I like it here on the east coast

I like the state I’m in

I like the way they live here

But I’m not done travelling

I should stay here a while though

I cannot just run again

And now I’m in love with you boy

Come with me travelling

It may not last forever

Nothing ever does

And there’s nothing quite so fickle

As a travelling lover’s love

I’ll be come back for you boy

I’ll be back again

Oh when the road doesn’t call me

My travels they will end

I’ll be come back for you boy

I’ll be back again

Oh when the sun doesn’t call me

My travels they will end
