Lyrics Flicker And Fail - Laura Marling

Flicker And Fail

He took a bus to meet me
In a bar in a Tuscan hill
A sight I’d never seen
I believe in God still
But, wouldn’t be able to stop me if I feel like running away
Wouldn’t be able to stop me if I didn’t want to stay
And the rain fell on the houses
And the rain fell on the trees
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceased
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
Said he’d been sleeping lonely spending nights under the stars
Little darling, we’re all lonely we don’t all show our scars
This is my heart and my burden
And I would never bring you down like that
My heart, my burden
I would never bring you down with me
And the rain fell on the towers
And on the (?) swaying trees
And it hammered and raged on us unwillingly
The believers were forewarned and they ran into the storm
And watched the Earth’s light flicker and fail
They watched the Earth’s light flicker and fail
Flicker and
Flicker and fail
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
They put money in their hearts and God
