The End Of The Affair

Album: Song for Our Daughter (2020)
Play Video
  • Max came around one day
    With very much, nothing to say
    And so we sat in silence by the road
    It took awhile to land
    He threw his head into hands
    And said this is too much
    For man to hold

    If you were mine
    If you were mine
    I'd let you live your life

    Threw my head into his chest
    I think we did our best
    But now we must make good
    On words to God

    Answered with a weary breath
    No need to say the rest
    I feel that we've been lost here
    For too long

    If you were mine
    If you were mine
    I'd let you live your life

    The end of the affair
    I tried to keep us there
    Shake hands and say goodnight
    I love you, goodbye

    Now let me live my life Writer/s: Blake Mills, Laura Marling
