Blackberry Stone

Blackberry Stone - Laura Marling

Well I own this field

And I wrote this sky

And I have no reason to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered

But I'd understand that I'd never let it go

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered

But I'd understand that the world does what it does

And you never did learn to let the little things go

And you never did learn to let me be

And you never did learn to let little people grow

And you never did learn how to see

But I whisper that I love this man

Now and for forever to your soul as it floats out off the window

To the world that you turned your back on

To the world that never really let you be

And I am Laura now and Laura still

And you did always say that one day I would suffer

You did always say that people get their pay

You did always say that I was going places

And that you wouldn't have it any other way

But I couldn't turn my back on a world

For what I like wouldn't let me

But I couldn't turn my back on a world for

And I couldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry stone
