Laura Marling - I Was An Eagle

So your grandmother stands to me
A woman I would be proud to be
And you say she reminds you of me
Every little boy is so naive
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be
a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance
or romance or any man
Who could get
his dirty little hands on me
So your grandfather sounds like me
Head up shoulders back
and proud to be
Every little girl is so naive
Falling in love with
the first man that she sees
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be
a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance
or romance or any man
Who could get his dirty
little hands on me
When we were in love
if we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
Today I will feel something
other than regret
Pass me a glass
and half smoked cigarette
I've damn near got no dignity left
I've damn near got no dignity left
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be
a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or
Romance or any man
Who could get his dirty little
hands on me
When we were in love
if we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle
And you were a dove
When we were in love
if we were
When we were in love
You were a dove
And I rose above you and preyed
