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..

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.
