Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

Mother

Oh, Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me just like this?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this

How I long for the older
The sun keeps burning deep
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh
Can you protect me from what I want?
The lover I let in who left me so lost

Mother, make me
Make me a big tall tree
So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
Mother, make me
Make me a big, grey cloud
So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud

All these couples are kissing
And I can't stand the heat
I lost my shoes and left the party
I wandered in the street

I put my feet into the fountain
The statues, all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief

Mother, make me
Make me a bird of prey
So I can rise above this, let it fall away
Mother, make me
Make me a song so sweet
Heaven trembles, fallin' at my feet

Oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
And, oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me just like this?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this

Oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me on my knees?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
And it belongs to me
Oh Lord, won't you leave me
Leave me just like this?
'Cause I belong to the ground now
I want no more than this
