What He Wrote (2010) - 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 am 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 did he learn 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 my knees and I wept for my life

If he had have stayed you might understand

If he had have stayed you never would have taken my hand


He wrote

I'm low, please send for me

But I am broken too

And spoken for

Do not tempt me

And where is the lamb that gave you your name?

He had to leave though I begged him to stay


Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip

Begged him to stay by the light of this ship

Me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn

And the waves came and stole him and took him to war


He wrote

I'm broke

Please send for me

But I'm broken too

And spoken for

Do not tempt me


Forgive me Hera, I cannot stay

He cut out my tongue

There is nothing to save

Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away

He laughed at my sins

In his arms I must say


We write

That's alright

I miss his smell

We speak when spoken to

And that suits us well


That suits us well

That suits me well
