Song information
Artist: Laura Marling Album: Alas I Cannot Swim
Lyrics
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy You sat alone under billowing sky If I feel God judging me Well I fell into the water, now I'm free
My friends they don't really get me, think I'm the only one Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I've had more fun Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well You're gonna have to curse him, well you're gonna have to yell The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain If the rain come round and it don't go out, then I'll never have to speak again
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain
The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more" He's done with all this bullshit, he's going back to war If Heaven is as Heaven does then this is Hell for sure
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away Another second lost with every fallen grain
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy You sat alone under billowing sky If I feel God judging me Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.
