What he wrote - live from york minster by Laura Marling Lyrics
Forgive me here
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 my knees, and I wept for my life
If he had of stayed, you might understand
If he had of stayed, you never would've taken my hand
He wrote
I'm low
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 leave, 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
And the waves came
And stole him
And took him toward
He wrote
I'm broke
Please send for me
But I'm broken too
And spoken for
Do not, tempt me
Forgive me, here, I cannot stay
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
We write
That's alright
I miss his smell
We speak
When spoken to
That suits us well
That suits us well
That suits me well
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 my knees, and I wept for my life
If he had of stayed, you might understand
If he had of stayed, you never would've taken my hand
He wrote
I'm low
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 leave, 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
And the waves came
And stole him
And took him toward
He wrote

Forgive me, here, I cannot stay
Cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say

When spoken to
That suits us well
That suits us well
That suits me well
