Cover art for Laura lyrics by Bat for Lashes

I saw Bat For Lashes perform this song tonight in one of it's first performances. Not sure if it elucidates any meaning but Natasha said before the song 'does anyone else have a step-son? This is the hardest song of all' which made the lyrics all the more baffling as the song is about a girl (Laura) rather than a boy (step-son). Natasha was very emotional singing the song - she had tears in her eyes throughout - which I've never seen before and I've seen BFL about 7 times before. This song means something very special to her.
