What He Wrote Lyrics

Forgive me Hera, I cannot stay,
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save.
Love me oh lord, he threw me away,
He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e50645-laura_marling~what_he_wrote_lyrics.html ]
He wrote, I'm broke, please send for me,
But I am broken too and spoken for, do not tempt me.

Her skin is white and I'm light as the sun,
So holy light shines on the things you have done.
So I asked him how he became this man,
How did he learn to hold fruit in his hands.
And where is the lamb that gave you your name,
He had to leave though I begged him to stay.
Left me alone when I needed the light,
Fell to my knees I wept for my life.
If he had of stayed you might understand,
If he had of stayed you never would have never taken my hand.

He wrote I am low please send for me,
But I am broken too and spoken for, do not tempt me.

And where is the lamb that gave you your name,
He had to leave though I begged him to stay.
Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip,
Begged him to stay by the light of this ship.
Me fighting him fighting light fighting dawn,
The waves came and stole him and took him to war.

He wrote I'm broke, please send for me,
But I am broken too, and spoken for, do not tempt me.

Forgive me Hera, I cannot stay,
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to save.
Love me oh lord, he threw me away,
He laughed at my sins, in his arms I must stay.

He wrote, I'm broke, please send for me,
But I am broken too and spoken for, do not tempt me.

We write, that's all right, I miss his smell,
We speak when spoken to, that suits us well,
That suits us well, that suits me well.
