Lyrics Laura Marling

Laura Marling

Warrior

He means to ride me on

He sees a battle he don't want to face alone

I bolt upwards and shake him off my back

He falls to his knees, onto a bloody track

I can't be your horse any more

You're not the warrior I was looking for

He fearing solitude, began to beg

Saw I was sure, stuck his knife into my leg

Good luck marching on in your own bloody trail

This noble path you're on will send us both to hell

I can't be your horse any more

You're not the warrior I was dying for

I stumble some way on, licking my sores

Tasting the memory of pain I have endured

Wondering where am I to go?

Looking back on a bloody trail, you think that I should know

I can't be your horse any more

You're not the warrior I was looking for

I can't be your horse any more

You're not the warrior I was looking for

One morning I awoke to someone calling me

A priestess I'd seen once in some arcana dream

She pulled an orange from the ground

Is this my warrior?

I am found

I'm just a horse with no name

Where are my other beasts who think the same?

I can't be your horse any more

You're not the warrior I was dying for
