Cover art for Pray For Me lyrics by Laura Marling

'Where does my lover lie? I don't love, I just lie Pray, pray for me And where you run, I run in tow And where you're from, I long to know'

After so many times of thinking that a person is the one and after so many times the idea of true love failing, she just wants to know who is that one person in the end. She thought that she was in love before, but could just be lying to herself. She'll do whatever the other person does because he is the one, but then again, she doesn't know who this person is yet, and she longs to know who he is and where he is.

'How does a child know Where mother's weakness goes And where, and where the trouble goes? Well you will speak and it shall be so And what you say will be all I know'

She talks about growing up and learning about the hardship her mother had to go through as a woman and a mother little by little as she evolves into a woman herself. And in the end she knows that she's going to end up like her mother, and she'll always be looking up to her mother when it comes to becoming a woman.
