Laura Marling - The Captain & The Hourglass

Lyrics;
You kicked the bow, now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone, under bellowing sky.
If I feel God judging me, I fell into the water,
& now i'm free.
My friends they don't really get me, think I'm the only one.
Well I sold my soul to Jesus & since then I've had no fun.
Behind every tree is a cutting machine & a kite fallen from grace,
Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face.
& he'll tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
& he'll tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
The wind & I we speak the same but he don't hear so well,
If you gonna have to curse him well you're gonna have to yell.
& the sky & I we've had our fights but i'm coming round to rain,
If the rain come out & I don't go out I don't ever have to speak again.
I can tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
I can tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain
The captains got his boots on & he's heading out the door,
Leaving his lady alone thinking , 'He don't love me no more.'
He's done with all his bullshit, he's going back to war,
If heaven is as heaven does then this is hell for sure.
& he'll tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
& he'll tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
You kicked the bow, now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone, under bellowing sky.
If I feel God judging me, I fell into water,
& now i'm free.
