Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows (Live at Crossing Border 2011)

This song is so powerful. I often say that a lot of Laura Marling’s songs are like enchantments, and this is one of the ones that casts the strongest spell. You almost want to cry listening to it.

and I want to be held by those arms

[some-arcana]

you'll work your thumbs they are sore and you'll work my heart till it's raw

(Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows)

[some-arcana]

the grey in this city is too much to bear

[alixandrra]

You'll work your thumbs they are sore And you'll work my heart till it's raw And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall We are basic lives

[besmirchthis]

and his heart was full of fire at the man he had become and his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun he could embrace sweet desire in moments as they passed but he feared it ever more when he saw it didn't last

Laura Marling, 'Alpha Shallows'

[loveyourcrooked-neighbour]

You'll work my heart til it's raw And you'll call and call but you'll never be told And I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall We are basic lies
