Текст песни «Laura Marling - Darkness Descends»

You're holding bits of styrofoam
With your face painted on to your friends
You listen to them whine and moan
About everything you can understand
Can i just say i don't fear the light
But darkness descends once more into my life

And suddenly we're all alone in the silence
So i take a step away
I look up to the falling snow as it makes its home
Upon my face
Well i wouldn't want to ruin something i cannot save
The gap will keep us safe
The gap will keep us safe

Step away, get me when i'm down
Ahhhhh

And suddenly i'm five years old and i'm just so cold
I want to cry
I hold out for my gentlemen who have always been there
In hard times
But they're just not like that man of mine
Who visits me, from time to time

My love, I treasure you
Ahhhhhh

I hear that summer's coming back so i stretch out my back
And travel on
The winter, though it darkens me, it is pure and clean
And all i want
I'll apologise to the ones i love
For leaving them when the sun comes up

Too bright for me, darkness descends
Ahhhhhhh

Oh well i'm not well again
And once more, darkness, it descends
The ground is falling under me
And i can't find the means to leave

Convinced that i am going mad, oh i bury my head
Into his hands
So sure that i am losing faith, oh i clear a space
In his father's land
I'll deal with God far too young
Before you know it, your life has run away.
