Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows Lyrics
He could fall and she can weepBut as holy are my feet and hard with mentionThat dear they may not speakWe feel tight when there is tensionAnd our eyes can make us weakAnd his heart was full of fire at the man he had becomeAnd his soul seldom higher with the falsities of funCould embrace sweet desires and moments as they passedBut he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't lastWe walk up Holland Avenue And watch the rich as they consumeTheir product made our hearts exhume an emptiness unrivalled byA hunger that I could control, he'd pray up to his GodThat he might save their soulThe grey in this city is too much to bareThe grey in this city is too much to bareAnd I believe we are meant to be seen and not to be understoodAnd I want to be held by those armsI want to be held by those armsYou'll work your thumbs they are soreAnd you'll work my heart till it's rawAnd you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be toldAnd I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fallWe are basic livesWe are basic lives
