Once - Laura Marling In the land I now know to be mine With a heart so dark it's near blind When I think about the life I've left behind I still raise no praise to the sky With my eyes on the prize of your bed When all that's needed saying has been said When I think about the life that I have led I lay down to the sound of the wise . Once, once is enough to break you Once, once is enough to make you think twice About laying your love out on the line . With all I now know to be true And all I've figured out about you All the crazy things a mind can do I lay down to the sound of the truth . Once, once is enough to break you Once, once is enough to make you think twice About laying your little love out on the line . Oh, I was a child once Oh, I was happy young When all I didn't know needed doing Had been done .
