Laura Marling - Hope in the air - live from the royal festival hall lyrics

There is a man that I know Seventeen years, he never spoke Guessed he had nothing to say He opened his mouth on Judgement Day I listened with all of my might But was scared by the look in his eyes Like he'd already lost the fight And there was no hope ever in sight No hope in the air No hope in the water Not even for me Your last serving daughter Why fear d**h, be scared of living Our hearts are small and ever thinning There is no hope ever of winning Oh, why fear d**h, be scared of living I have seen men provoked And I have seen lives revoked And I looked at my life and choked From there no more ever I spoke I can't give up that quick My life is a candle and a wick You can put it out but you can't break it down In the end we are waiting to be lit There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But sadly not me Your last serving daughter A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave, never But you've have never been south of what blows off your mouth You will never understand, ever You speak minds handed down to you By the lies handed down by your truth And your angels will dance at your will Will mask your scrambling youth I forgave you your short comings And ignored your childish behaviour Laid a kiss on your head And before I left said, "stay away from fleeting failure" There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But sadly not me Your last serving daughter Pick up your rope Lord, sling it to me If we are to battle I must not be weak And give us your strength world, and your food and your water Oh, I am your saviour, your last serving daughter There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But sadly not me Your last serving daughter There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But no hope for me Your last serving daughter
