Night After Night - Laura Marling

Darling I loved you

I longed to become you

And know what it is that you gave

We dance the sorrow

Forgive me tomorrow I pray

Night after night

Day after day

Would you watch my body weaken

My mind drift away

Dear lover forsaken

Our love is taken away

Well you’re my speaker

My innocence keeper, I don’t

Night after night

Day after day

Would you watch my body weaken

My mind drift away

Dear lover forgiven

My love is driven by rage

Oh I should just leave you

Instead of deceive you but I don’t

Night after night

Day after day

Would you watch my body weaken

My mind drift away

I account to no one

Hold nobody’s ear

I showed you my hand once

And you hit me in fear

I don’t stand for the devil

I don’t whisper in ears

I stand on the mountains and call people to hear

It’s a sudden burst of light

It’s a fate foretold

It is knowing, it is knowing

He longs for the answers as all of us must

He longs for the woman who’ll conquer his lust

He screams in the night, I scream in the day

We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray

Night after night

Day after day

Night after night

Day after day

Night after night

Day after day

Would you watch my body weaken

My mind drift away

It’s a tempting communion

It’s a fate foretold

It is knowing, it is knowing

What it is that you’re told
