Laura Marling - Alpha shallows - live from york minster lyrics

He could fall and she can weep but as holy are my feet And hard with mention but dear, they may not speak We fell tight when there is tension And our eyes could make us weak And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pa** But he feared it evermore, he saw it didn't last We walk up Holland Avenue and watch the rich as they consume Their product made our hearts exude, emptiness unrivaled By the hunger that I could control and he'd pray up to his God That he might save his soul But the gray in this city is too much to bear The gray in this city is too much to bear And I believe you are meant to be seen But not to be understood And I want to be held by those eyes I want to be held by those eyes You'll work your thumbs till they're sore And you'll work my heart till it's raw And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall We are basic lies We are basic lies
