Devil’s Spoke

Laura Marling

Album: Devil’s Spoke Durasi: 3:38

I might be a part of this

Ripple on water from a lonesome drip

A fallen tree that witness me

I'm alone, him and me

And then life itself can not aspire

To have someone be so admired

I threw creation to my kin

Have the silence broken by a whispered wind

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

And root to root and tip to tip

I look at him, my country gip

All leathered up by all his fears

But someone brought you close to tears

Many trains and many miles

Brought you to me on this sunny isle

What of which you wish to speak

Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

But the love of your life lives but lies no more

And where she lay a flower grows

And the arms that fed and the babes that wed

And the backs have bled keeping her in tow

But I am your keeper

And I hold your face away from light

I am yours 'til they come

Eye to eye, nose to nose

Ripping off each other's clothes

In the most peculiar way

Eye to eye, nose to nose

Ripping off each other's clothes

In the most peculiar way
