Alas I Cannot Swim by Laura Marling


Theres a house across the river

But alas i cannot swim

And a garden of such beauty

That the flowers seem to grin

Theres a house across the river

But alas i cannot swim

I'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in!

 

Theres a boy across the river

With short black curly hair

He wants to be my lover

And i want to be his peer

Theres a boy across the river

But alas i cannot swim

And i never will get to put my arms around him

 

Theres a life across the river

That was ment for me

Instead i live my life in constant misery

Theres a life across the river

But i do not see

Why i should please those who will never be pleased

There is gold across the river

But i dont want none

There is gold across the river

But i dont want none

 

Gold is fleeting gold is fickle gold is fun!

Gold is fleeting gold is fickle gold is fun!

 

There is gold across the river

But i dont want none

I would rather be dry

Then held up by a golden gun

 

Saying

Work more

Earn more

Live more

Have more fun!

 

Saying

Work more

Earn more

Live more

Have more fun!

 

Saying

Work more

Earn more

Live more

Have more fun!
