Devils Spoke by Laura Marling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I'm alone, him and me

[Verse 2]
And then life itself could not aspire
To have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my kin
With the silence broken by a whispered wind

[Chorus]
All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

[Verse 3]
And root to root and tip to tip
I look at him my country gyp
Leathered up by all his fears
But someone brought you close to tears
[Verse 4]
Many trains and many miles
Brought you to me on this sunny isle
And what of which you wish to speak
Have you come here to rescue me?

[Chorus]
All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

[Verse 5]
But the love of your life lives but lies no more
And where she lay a flower grows
The arms that fed and the babes that wed
And the backs that bled keeping her in tow

[Bridge]
But I am your keeper
And I hold your face away from light
I am yours till they come
I am yours till they come

[Outro]
Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each other's clothes
In a most peculiar way
Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each other's clothes
In a most peculiar way
