Rest In the Bed

Laura Marling · A Creature I Don't Know [2011]

There lies a man of my heart

A fine and complete work of art

Here I his woman, his home and his heart

And proud to be playing that part

And proud to be playing that part



Rest in the bed of my bones

All that I want is a home

And all you can do is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark or cold

As long as we both shall live



The bite will come

But you'll feel your call as a a son

As I believe in you

The first hill is the hardest I'm sure

Where all shadows come to the shore

Know that it's you and I to the end

And all I want from life is to hold your hand



All that I have are these bones

And all that I want is a home

And all you can do is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark or cold

As long as we both shall live



The siren's come

They always will

But the dart between my heart and his

Is as good as a diamond chain



Rest in the bed of my bones

All that I want is a home

And all you can do is promise me bold

That you won't let me grow dark or cold

As long as we both shall live
