Letras: Laura Marling. Alas I Cannot Swim. Captain and the Hourglass.

You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the car
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me
Well, I fell into the water and now I?m free

My friends they don?t really get me
Think I?m the only one
Well, I sold my soul to Jesus
And since then I?ve had no fun

Behind every tree is a cutting machine
And a kite fallen from grace
Inside every man is a heart of sand
You can see it in his face

He?ll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
He?ll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

The wind and I, we speak the same
But he don?t hear so well
You?re gonna have to curse him
Well, you?re gonna have to yell

The sky and I, we?ve had our fights
And I?m coming ?round to rain
If the rain come ?round and it don?t come out
Then I?ll never have to speak again

I can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
Can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

The captains got his boots on
And he?s heading out the door
Leaving his lady alone
Thinking he don?t love me no more

He?s done with all this bullshit
He?s going back to war
If heaven is as heaven does
Then this is hell for sure

And he?ll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain
He?ll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick away
Another second lost with every fallen grain

You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the car
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me
But I fell into the water and now I?m free
