My Friends Lyrics - A Creature I Don't Know - Laura Marling

My friends, my dear friends 

And lovers, oh my lovers 

I'd leave you for them 

They got a hand on my back 

Mama has money now and Mama has friends 

She's making rags for some uptown hags 

With their money in bags 

And why are you so sad? 

Why are you always so sad? 

Why do I not understand? 

Why don't I see what it is you see? 

Why can I live and just be? 

I'm full of guilt 

I am full of guilt 

You're very tall, you're very handsome 

You have it all, your skin smells like man

And I, you never know how I ache 

You will never know how I ache 

Don't touch that in grace 

Ever considered the sea? 

I heard you had to be strong 

Why not float around with me? 

It won't take you so long 

You can go where I'm at 

You can hang around with me 

And a few good men will go where they all 

Where they all not be 

And a few good mothers go for what they, 

What they all not teach 

And I long for a touch or reminder of us but, 

But it must not be 

And a few strong branches over water 

reach for what they all not reach

I hope your mother knows where it is you have been 

I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen 

She'd be so proud
