Laura Marling - Salinas lyrics

rate me

I am from Salinas

Where the women go forever

And they never ever stop to ask why.

My mother was a savior

Of six foot of bad behavior

Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh.

Oh, my mother

Oh, my friends

Ask the angels,

Will I ever see heaven again?

Late into the evening

They would take each other screaming

Looking darkly to the back of her eye.

Careless beast was bleeding

That the air behind was breathing

That they mustn't ever look up to the sky.

There, no answers.

There are found.

Ask the angels,

Am I heaven bound?

Mmmm, put it down to me

I who speak awkwardly.

An word if it is heard

Is not intended to be

Not for him, not for her,

Not for them, and not for me.

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn,

Understand?

Mmmm, and the clouds roll in

We start playing for our sins.

With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder

I believe I will run before that boy gets older.

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn,

Understand?

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn,

Understand?

I am from Salinas

Where the women go forever

And they never ever stop to ask why.

My mother was a savior

Of six foot of bad behavior

Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh.

Oh, my mother

Oh, my friends

Ask the angels,

Will I ever see heaven again?

Will I ever see heaven again?

Will I ever see heaven again?

Hmmm...

Punish them all for they speak too much

Hate the world for what it did to us.

Will I ever see heaven again?

Hmmm...
