Текст песни «Laura Marling - Goodbye England»

You were so smart then
In your jacket and coat
My softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter was on us
At the end of my nose
And I never love England more than when covered in snow

But a friend of mine says it's good to hear that you believe in love
Even if said in fear
Well, I'll hold you there brother
And set you straight
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break

I will come back here
Bring me back when I'm old
I want to lay here forever in the cold
I might be cold but
I'm just skin and bones
And I never love England more than when covered in snow

I wrote my name in your book
Only God knows why
And I bet you he cracked a smile
And I'm clearing all the crap out of my room
Trying desperately to figure out what it is that makes me blue
And I wrote a big letter to you
And it's twenty-two pages front and back
But it's too good to be used
And I try to be a girl who likes to be used
I'm too good for that
There's a mind under this hat
And I called them all
And told them I've got to move

I'm on my own
It's too hard
I'm on my own
It's too hard

Feel like running
Feel like running
Run it off

And we will keep you
We will keep you
Little one
Safe from harm
Like an extra arm
You are part of us

You were so smart then
In your jacket and coat
My softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter will leave us
Left the end of my nose
And goodbye old England till next year's snow
