Laura Marling

There is a man that I know
Seventeen years he never spoke
Guess he had nothing to say
He opened his mouth on judgement day
I listened with all of my might
I 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 death, be scared of living
Oh hearts are small and ever thinning
There is no hope ever of winning
Why fear death, be scared of living
I have seen men provoked
And I have seen lives revoked
And I looked at my life and I 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.
