Once Lyrics

Once - Laura Marling

.

In the land I now know to be mine

With a heart so dark it's near blind

When I think about the life I've left behind

I still raise no praise to the sky

.

With my eyes on the prize of your bed

When all that's needed saying has been said

When I think about the life that I have led

I lay down to the sound of the wise

.

Once, once is enough to break you

Once, once is enough to make you think twice

About laying your love out on the line

.

With all I now know to be true

And all I've figured out about you

All the crazy things a mind can do

I lay down to the sound of the truth

.

Once, once is enough to break you

Once, once is enough to make you think twice

About laying your little love out on the line

.

Oh, I was a child once

Oh, I was happy young

When all I didn't know needed doing

Had been done

.
