At a recent concert of hers, Laura explained the meaning behind this song. She and her dad went for a walk up a hill near her hometown when she was 7 or 8, where the view was beautiful and her dad asked that one day, before he died, would she take him back up that hill, so he could remember how beautiful the world is. Which I thought was a beautiful thing that she and her father shared, even when she was homesick for England (another reason why she said she wrote this song).
this channel has done a great job and has a great name as well. :) thank you so much. I've been listening to laura for five years now and she still amazes me.
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 my nose And I'll never love England more than when covered in snow But a friend of mine says it 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'll never love England more than when covered in snow I wrote my name in your book Only God knows why And I bet you that 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 an epic letter to you And it's 22 pages front and back but it's too good to be used And I tried 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 You might also like Carol of the Bells Christmas Songs Gangsters The Specials For You Laura Marling I'm out now It's too hard I'm on my own It's too hard Feel like running Feel like running Running off And we will keep you We will keep you, little one Safe from harm Like an extra arm, you are a 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 Well goodbye old England, until next year's snow
I want this played at my funeral 🏴

her dad is alive still
You only like it 'cause she's wearing a Wolves shirt
Thank you for this
She was homesick for England? Why? Where was she? When?
A beautiful song . Captures love, life, family & home perfectly ❤️
…such a wonderful talent. Thank you Laura 😊
This is the best thing on the internet right now
It still is
I've loved this song for many years. I'll never tire of it and I hope she never does.
♥️
i can't believe how beautiful this is
This is so beautiful I think I will die.
How I wish a "Love" reaction here on youtube right now. Too beautiful
For an exiled Englishman this is pretty tough. Beautiful but tough.
Just an unbelievable talent.
Gorgeous version..... 🤗

Delicious.
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 my nose
And I'll never love England more than when covered in snow
But a friend of mine says it 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'll never love England more than when covered in snow
I wrote my name in your book
Only God knows why
And I bet you that 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 an epic letter to you
And it's 22 pages front and back but it's too good to be used
And I tried 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 out now
It's too hard
I'm on my own
It's too hard
Feel like running
Feel like running
Running off
And we will keep you
We will keep you, little one
Safe from harm
Like an extra arm, you are a 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
Well goodbye old England, until next year's snow
