David Lyrics

I look West and I believe
He looks East and he thinks of me
Though he won't see me anymore
I open gates that close his doors
Just to know that he lives and breathes
Has to be enough for me.

There's an angel walking earth
One of a kind amongst all this dirt
Sat down one day and I swallowed my pride
And I begged him not to leave my life

With a tear in my eye
And a lump in my throat
I read you David's final note
Goodbye little girl, don't you forget
Wasted love is a long regret
Wasted love is a long regret

Goodbye little girl, don't you forget
Wasted love is a long regret
Wasted love is a long regret

Cover art for David lyrics by Laura Marling

So I wonder if anyone knows a little bit more about this song? I have been listening to it a lot lately and it kinda stands out of Laura's songs as one very personal and with its lyrics being quite specific. But is it her story or someone else's? It's not like I'm searching for gossips, I'm just curious..

@StanleyK

She was fascinated with Ryan Adams for many years. They may have had a relationship. He wrote songs about her. His first name is David and this song is about him.
