Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim Lyrics
Laura Marling - Old Stone Lyrics
He chased me through the rain
Honey, I'm going your way, I don't think so
You can chase me through the rain
And scream my name, a childish game
Laura Marling - Captain and the Hourglass Lyrics
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the car
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me
Well, I fell into the water and now Iâm free
Laura Marling - Crawled out of the Sea (Interlude) Lyrics
Oh you crawled out of the sea
Straight into my arms,
Straight into my arms

Laura Marling - Failure Lyrics
He used to be a singer in a rock and roll band
He would write the songs and I'd tremble at his hand
But oh, la, la, he lost poetic ethic
And his songs were pathetic, he's a failure now
Laura Marling - You're No God Lyrics
Mom thinks that you're sad
And that you're living alone
And your friends think if you're sad
You should call them more
Laura Marling - Shine Lyrics
I have traveled past your window many times
I find your face too hard to define
I can touch you, hollow thing, you plague my mind
I can never go outside
Laura Marling - My Manic and I Lyrics
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva
The mountains can cover the shape of his nose
He wants to die where nobody can see him
But the beauty of his death will carry on so
Laura Marling - Tap at My Window Lyrics
He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell him again
Laura Marling - Cross Your Fingers Lyrics
Look down on the body that you have grown
Four mountains stand around you, they're not your own
And light squares and bodies are all you see
Since you broke down, since I broke down
Laura Marling - Ghosts Lyrics
He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
Laura Marling - Night Terror Lyrics
I woke up and he was screaming, I'd left him dreaming
I roll over and shake him tightly and whisper
If they want you, oh, they're gonna have to fight me
Oh, fight me
Laura Marling - Your Only Doll (Dora) Lyrics
I fell into the street, poison in my veins
Clamber to my feet and into the night again
Back to my home, back to my owner
Who screams at my tardiness
