The Shadows - Laura Marling

Composed by：Laura Marling

Produced by：Dom Monks/Laura Marling

So someone was sleeping

While she did her leaving

Cowards go in the night

She did her leaving

And how could I blame her

Who has the nerve to fight

She knows of course she knows

That nothing could tear us apart

She lives in the shadows

Of my heart

I tried to persuade her

In vain of course later

That's something that I'd deny

I knew it was better to say in my letter

That I never even tried

She knows of course she knows

And one day she'll tear me apart

The shadow that she'll leave

On my heart

She's leaving she's leaving

My altar she's leaving

Where will I go to pray

I want her I need her

I long to believe her

Words that she will not say

And I knew of course I knew

That one day she'd tear me apart

The shadow that she left

On my heart

She's leaving she's leaving

My altar she's leaving

Where will I go to hide

She lives on the shadows

Of my mind
