"Cross Your Fingers" lyrics - LAURA MARLING

LAURA MARLING
"Cross Your Fingers"

Look down on the barley
That you have grown
Four mountains stand around you
They're not your own

And light squares and bodies
Are all you see
Since you broke down
Since I broke down
Since we broke down

[Chorus:]
Oh I jump into your grave and die
And on my word you'll give up your whole life
For me. And you'll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive...
I... I...
I... I...

Cross your fingers, hold your toes
We're all gonna die when the building blows
Cross your fingers hold your toes
We're all gonna die when the building blows

And the house that you were born in
Is crumbling at the corner

Sagging skin and feet of crows, feet of crows

[Chorus:]
Oh I jump into your grave and die
And on my word you'll give up your whole life
For me. And you'll be reborn bigger and stronger and less alive...
I... I...
I... I...

[Outro:]
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh, oh, (oh)
Oh
