Текст песни «Laura Marling - I Was An Eagle»

[verse 1]

[chorus]

[chorus]
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or romance or circumstance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me
Oh, no

[bridge]

And you were a dove

When we were in love (if we were)
When we were in love
You were a dove
And I rose above you and preyed
