Undine

Laura Marling · Once I Was An Eagle [2013]

Made my steps towards the water where Undine last was seen

I was told that if you saw her it should make you more naive

Made my steps towards the shore she calls her love at me

Oh Undine so sweet and pure, make me more naive

Oh Undine, singing after me

Oh Undine, make me more naive



There were ropes around my wrist and the tide pulled at her hair

Pulling her away from me and me away from there

Yes the water tried to take her and it may pour on that night

But she fought herself against it love in her had not yet died

Oh Undine, fight your way to me

Oh Undine, make me more make me more

You live for the sea

Undine, you live for the sea

You can not you can not

You can not you can not

You can not love me



It's cold there in the summer so I took my coat and left

Left Undine by the embers, that's all our fire had left

Left Undine by the shore where she sings her love at me



Oh Undine I shook and swore

I don't know what this love is singing

You live for the sea

Undine, you live for the sea

You can not you can not

You can not you can not

You can not love me



What's going on in there?

What's going on in there?

Let me in



You live for the sea

Undine, you live for the sea

You can not you can not

You can not love me
