What He Wrote (Live)

What He Wrote (Live) - Laura Marling

Forgive me Hera

I cannot stay

He cut out my tongue

There is nothing to say

Love me oh Lord

He threw me away

He laughed at my sins in his arms

I must stay

He wrote I'm broke

Please send for me

But I'm broken too and spoken for

Do not tempt me

Her skin is white

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 me alone

When I needed the light

Fell to me knees

And I wept for your life

He had of stayed

You might understand

He had of 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 that's alright

I miss his smell

We speak when spoken to

That suits me well that suits us well

That suits me well
