Devil’s Spoke Songtext
von Laura Marling

I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I′m alone, him and me

And then life itself can not aspire
To have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my kin
Have the silence broken by a whispered wind

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

And root to root and tip to tip
I look at him, my country gip
All leathered up by all his fears
But someone brought you close to tears


Many trains and many miles
Brought you to me on this sunny isle
What of which you wish to speak
Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

But the love of your life lives but lies no more
And where she lay a flower grows
And the arms that fed and the babes that wed
And the backs have bled keeping her in tow

But I am your keeper
And I hold your face away from light
I am yours 'til they come
I am yours ′til they come

Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each other's clothes
In the most peculiar way
Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each other's clothes
In the most peculiar way
