Blackberry Stone

Well I, own this field And I wrote this sky And I have no reason, to reason with you I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered But I'd understand that I'd never let it go I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered But I'd understand that the world does what it does And you never did learn to let the little things go And you never did learn to let me be And you never did learn to let little people grow And you never did learn how to see But I whisper that I love this man Now and for forever to your soul as it floats out of the window To the world that you turned your back on To the world that never really let you be And I am Laura now, and Laura still And you did always say that one day I would suffer You did always say that people get their pay You did always say that I was going places And that you wouldn't have it any other way But I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like, wouldn't let me But I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like, I needed And I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like, wouldn't let me And I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like, I needed And I shouldn't turn my back on the sweet smelling blackberry stone --- Blackberry Stone - Laura Marling
