Blackberry Stone Lyrics

by Laura Marling

Well I own this field, and I wrote this sky,
And I have no reason to reason with you.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e50641-laura_marling~blackberry_stone_lyrics.html ]
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I understand that I'd never let it go.
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand the world does what it does.

And you never did learn to let the little things go,
And you never did learn to let me be,
And you never did learn to let little people grow,
And you never did learn to see.

But I'll whisper that I love this man, now, and for forever,
To your soul as it floats out of the window.
To the world that you turned your back on,
To the world that never really let you be.

And I am lower now and lower still,
And you did always say that one day I would suffer,
You did always say that people get their pay,
You did always say that I was going places,
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

But I couldn't turn my back
On a world for what I lack wouldn't let me
But I couldn't turn my back
On a world for what I like I need it.

But I couldn't turn my back
On a world for what I lack wouldn't let me
And I couldn't turn my back
On a world for what I like I need it.

And I shouldn't turn my back on a sweet smelling blackberry stone.
