Night After Night Lyrics - A Creature I Don't Know - Laura Marling

My darling, I loved you 

I long to become you 

And know what it is that you gave 

We dance the sorrow 

Forgive me tomorrow 

And I pray night after night and day after day 

Would you watch my body weaken 

And my mind drift away? 

Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away 

You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper 

I don't night after night, day after day 

Would you watch my body weaken, 

My mind drift away? 

Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage

Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you 

But I don't 

Night after night, day after day 

Would you watch my body weaken and mind drift away? 

I count no one, hold nobody's ear 

I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear 

I don't stand for the devil 

I don't whisper in ears 

I stand on the mountains and call people to hear 

Sudden bursts of light, it's a fate foretold 

It is knowing, it is knowing 

He longs for the answers, as all of us must 

He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust 

He screams in the night, I scream in the day 

He weeps in the evening and lies naked and prays 

Night after night, day after day 

Night after night, day after day 

Would you watch my body weaken and my mind drift away?

It's a tempting communion 

It's a fate foretold 

It is knowing, it is knowing 

What it is that you're told
