Warrior Songtext
von Laura Marling

He means to ride me on
He sees a battle he don′t want to face alone
I bolt upwards and shake him off my back
He falls to his knees onto a bloody track

Well, I can't be your horse anymore
You′re not the warrior I've been looking for

I see what you mean to do with me
I cannot protect you from who you want to be
Go face the Lord on your own
You have my love, but it will not make you grow

I can't be your horse anymore
You′re not the warrior I would die for

He, fearing solitude, began to beg
When he saw I was sure, stuck a knife into my leg
Good luck walking on in your own bloody trail
This noble path you′re on will send us both to hell

I'm just a horse on the moor
Where is my warrior I′ve been looking for?


I stumbled some way on, licking my sores
Tasting the memory of pain I have endured
Wondering, "Where am I to go?"
Well, looking back on a bloody trail, you think that I should know

But I'm just a horse with no name
Somewhere there′s other beasts who think the same
I'm just a horse with no name
Some place there′s some other beasts who think the same

One morning, I awoke to someone calling me
A priestess I'd seen once in some arcana dream
And she pulled an orange from the ground
Is this my warrior?
I am
I am
Am found

I'm just a horse with no name
Where are my other beasts who think the same?
I′m just a horse on the moor
Where is the warrior I′ve been looking for?
