Laura Marling Lyrics
"Salinas"

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 blond curly hair down to her thighs

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
A careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
That they mustn't ever look up to the sky

There are no answers
There are found
Ask the angels
Am I heaven bound

Put it down to me
I who speak awkwardly
Any 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

When the clouds roll in, we start playing for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder
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
Oh my mother she's a savior of six foot of bad behavior
With long blond curly hair down to her thighs

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

Punish them all for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
But will I ever see heaven again
