AUATC Songtext
von Bon Iver

Well, you′re up all night
And your head's down low
If you can see your own kite (shed a little light on it)
You know a burden ain′t a bust
You are the only way to trust ya
No, no, no
It'll only bear the poor without a cost

Lay down, Martha
Lay down the holy banner flag
Hold out, Martha
Help is surely on its way
And it's not right
Don′t bask in the glory of mine
No, no, no,
They cannot take that part away


Ate up all their cake
And they drank their own wine
They were always on the take (will you shed a little light on it?)
Well, you know the burden ain′t of dust
The only path to love is touch
I know that all that ain't proper mounts to much

Lay down, Martha
Lay all that alabaster down
There′s no master
Help will surely come around
I don't ask
I don′t bask in the glory, oh no (ah, ah, ah)
And it's up to me if I don′t wear a mask

Well, you're up all night
And your neighbors don't know
Man, your neighbors don′t know
(So shed a little light on it)
You know the burden ain′t of us
You know that truth's been made a crutch
No, no, no
Only there the pauper laid him up
