I Was An Eagle - Laura Marling

.

So your grandmother sounds to me

A woman I would be proud to be

And you say she reminds you of me

Every little boy is so naive, oh

.

I will not be a victim of romance

I will not be a victim of circumstance

Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man

Who could get his dirty little hands on me

.

So your grandfather sounds like me

Head up, shoulders back and proud to be

Every little girl is so naive

Falling in love with the first man that she sees

.

I will not be a victim of romance

I will not be a victim of circumstance

Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man

Who could get his dirty little hands on me

.

When we were in love, if we were

When we were in love

I was an eagle

And you were a dove

.

Today I will feel something other than regret

Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette

I've damn near got no dignity left

I've damn near got no dignity left, oh

.

I will not be a victim of romance

I will not be a victim of circumstance

Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man

Who could get his dirty little hands on me

.

When we were in love, if we were

When we were in love

I was an eagle

And you were a dove

.

When we were in love, if we were

When we were in love

You were a dove

And I rose above you and preyed

.
