Flicker and Fail (Live from York Minster) - Laura Marling
Took a bus to meet me
In a bar in a Tuscan hill
Oh a sight I'd never seen
I believe in God still
Wouldn't be able to stop me
If I feel like running away
Wouldn't be able to stop me
If I didn't want to stay
But the rain fell on the houses
And the leaves fell over the trees
It fell its fiercest on the skulls
Of the willingly deceived
They put money in their hearts
And God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
Said he'd been sleeping lonely
Spending nights under the stars
Little darling we're all lonely
We don't all show our scars
It's my heart and my burden
How I never bring you down like that
My heart my burden
I would never bring you down with me
And the rain fell on the towers
And on the late swaying trees
And it hammered and it raged on us unwillingly
The believers were forewarned
They ran into the storm
And watched the earth's light flicker and fail
They watched the earth's light flicker and fail
Flicker and flicker and fail
They put money in their hearts
And God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts
And God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts
And God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
