Laura Marling - What He Wrote lyrics

rate me

Forgive me Dear,

I cannot stay.

He cut out my tongue,

there is nothing to say.

Love me? oh no, he threw me away,

he laughed at my sins, in his arms i must

stay.

He wrote, I'm broke.

Please send for me.

I'm broken too,

and spoken for.

Do not, tempt me.

Her skin is fun, 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 that he learned,

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 you alone, when you needed the

light.

Fell to your knees, and you wept for your

life!

If he had have stayed, you might

understand.

If he had have stayed, you never would've

taken my hand.

He wrote,

I'm alone.

Please send for me.

but I'm broken too,

and spoken for.

Do not, tempt me.

and where is the lamb, that gave you your

name?

He had to flee, though I begged him to

stay.

Begged him to stay, in my cold wooden

grip.

Begged him to stay, by the light of my

ship.

Me fighting him,

fighting light,

fighting dawn.

The waves came,

and stole him,

and took him toward.

He wrote,

I'm broke.

Please send for me.

but I'm broken too,

and spoken for.

Do not, tempt me.

Forgive me, dear, I cannot stay.

He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to

say

Love me or not, he threw me away.

He laughed at my sins, in his arms i must

stay.

We write.

That's alright.

I miss his smell.

and we speak,

when spoken to.

That suits us well.

We write.

and that's alright.

but I miss his smell.

and i speak, when spoken to,

'cause that suits me well.

That suits me well.
