Lyrics Cross Your Fingers - Laura Marling

Cross Your Fingers

Look down on the barley
That you have grown
Four mountains stand around you
They’re not your own
And light squares and bodies
Are all you see
Since you broke down
Since I broke down
Since we broke down
Oh I jump into your grave and die
And on my word you’ll give up your whole life
For me.
And you’ll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive…
I… I…
I… I…
Cross your fingers, hold your toes
We’re all gonna die when the building blows
Cross your fingers hold your toes
We’re all gonna die when the building blows
And the house that you were born in
Is crumbling at the corner
Sagging skin and feet of crows, feet of crows
Oh I jump into your grave and die
And on my word you’ll give up your whole life
For me.
And you’ll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive…
I… I…
I… I…
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh
