Letra What He Wrote - 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 am 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've stayed
You might understand
If he had've stayed
You never would have taken my hand
He wrote
Oh love
Please send for me
But I am broken too
Bnd 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 like 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 stay
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
