  • You took out that money
    That your Momma had saved
    She told me she kept it
    For running away
    Oh my
    Fortunes can change

    You've picked up some tricks
    That you learnt on your way
    For fear you'd be lonely
    If you never changed
    Oh my
    You lost your faith

    We landed on rocks
    And that's partly to blame
    We wandered the landscape
    In this unbearable pain
    Oh my
    Your fortune can change

    At least we agree
    That we've wasted our time
    We'll give up the hope
    That we'll meet down the line
    Better off measured
    In coffee, and wine

    I think on it fondly
    Now the truth can be told
    Some love is ancient
    And it lives on in your soul
    A fortune that never grows old

    You spent all that money
    That your Momma had saved
    Told me she kept it
    For running away

    Never quite found the right way to say
    I'm sorry my darling
    My mind it has been changed
    Release me
    From this unbearable pain

    And so ends the story
    I had hoped to change
    I had to release us
    From this unbearable pain
    And promise
    We won't come here again Writer/s: Laura Marling
