  • Oh naive little me
    Asking what things you have seen
    And you're vulnerable in your head
    You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead

    Creatures fade by night
    Following things that aren't right
    And they're tired and they need to be lead
    You'll scream and you'll wail till they're dead

    But give me to a rambling man
    Let it always be known that I was who I am

    We're beaten, battered, and cold
    My children will live just to grow old
    But if I sit here and weep
    I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

    And the weak need to be lead
    And the tender I'll carry to their bed
    And it's a pale and cold affair
    And I'll be damned if I'll be found there

    But give me to a rambling man
    Let it always be known that I was who I am

    It's funny that the first chords that you come to
    Are the minor notes that come to serenade you
    And it's hard to accept yourself as someone
    You don't desire
    As someone you don't want to be

    Oh give me to a rambling man
    Let it always be known that I was who I am
    Oh give me to the rambling man
    Let it always be known that I was who I am Writer/s: Laura Marling
