Hello my name is Laura Marling and I'm going to play a song from my new album, called I Speak Because I Can
And that's what the songs called and the album
And it was the last song written for this album
It was written in the key of D and the tuning of D
And there you have it
My husband left me last night
Left me a poor and lonely wife
I cooked the meals and he got the life
And now I'm just out for the rest of my time
For me. For he. For my.
I speak because I can to anyone I trust enough to listen
You speak because you can. To anyone that will hear what you say
I swear it was not my choice
I used to be so kind
Never rode my bike down to the sea
Never finished that letter I was writing
Never got up and said anything worthy
For he. For my.
Oh graceful sleeper
Midnight dreamer
I'm flawed by your sound
I'm flawed by your sound
I swear it was not my choice
To reach out for someone wise
I used to be so kind
I used to be so kind
In the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on the soft lawn
You'll be sinking at the anchor that stopped you from taking my gold
You'll be running up the highway singing I'm the King. The King of you all
When you look back to where you started I'll be there waving you on.
I never road my bike down to the sea
Never quite figured out what I believe
Never got up and shared anything worthy
For he. For my.
