Salinas (Live from York Minster) - Laura Marling
I am from Salinas
Where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother was a savior
Of six foot of bad behavior
Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother
Oh my friends
Ask the angels
Will I ever see heaven again
Late into the evening
They would take each other screaming
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
Careless beast was bleeding
That the air behind was breathing
That they mustn't ever look up to the sky
There no answers
There are found
Ask the angels
Am I heaven bound
Mmmm put it down to me
I who speak awkwardly
An word if it is heard
Is not intended to be
Not for him not for her
Not for them and not for me
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand
Mmmm and the clouds roll in
We start playing for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder
I believe I will run before that boy gets older
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand
I am from Salinas
Where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother was a savior
Of six foot of bad behavior
With long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother
Oh my friends
Ask the angels
Will I ever see heaven again
Will I ever see heaven again
Will I ever see heaven again
Hmmm
Punish them all for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
Will I ever see heaven again
