Laura Marling - Child Of Mine

You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen
Life is slowing down but it's still bitchin'
I got myself a rod but I could break it
My back is still as strong as I can make it

Plus you're mine
So who would rush right through it, child of mine?

Child of mine
Child of mine

Everything you want is in your reach right now
And anything that's not I have to teach somehow
Everything about you is intuitive
So those who miss the point might rush right through it

'Cause it's fine
But I don't want to miss it child of mine

Child of mine
Child of mine

Last night in your sleep you started crying
I can't protect you there, though I keep trying
Sometimes you'll go places I can't get to
But I've spoken to the angels who protect you

Because you're mine
They cast their golden light across this child

Child of mine
Child of mine

Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine

Long nights, fast years so they say
Time won't ever feel the same
And I don't want to miss it
No I don't want to miss it
And I'm not gonna miss it child of mine

Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
