Lyrics Laura Marling

Laura Marling

Rest in the Bed

There lies a man of my heart

A fine and complete work of art

Here I his woman

His home and his heart

And proud to be playing that part

And proud to be playing that part

Rest in the bed of my bones

All that I want is a home

And all you can do

Is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark

Or cold

As long as we both shall live.

The sirens come

Feel your call as a sound as I

Believe in you

The first deal's the hardest I'm sure

Where our shadows come to the shore

Know that it's you and I till the end

And all I want from life is to

Hold your hand

All that I have are these bones

And all that I want is a home

And all you can do

Is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark

Or cold

As long as we both shall live.

The sirens come

They always will

But the dart between my heart and his

Is as good as a diamond chain

Rest in the bed of my bones

All that I want is a home

And all you can do

Is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark

Or cold

As long as we both shall live.
