Перевод песни Laura Marling - The shadows

So someone was sleeping, while she did her leaving
Cowards go in the night
She did her leaving, and how can I blame her?
Who has the nerve to fight?

She knows, of course she knows
That nothing could tear us apart
She lives in the shadows of my heart

I tried to persuade her, in vain, of course, later
That’s something that I’d deny
I knew it was better to say in my letter
That I never even tried

She knows, of course she knows
And one day she’ll tear me apart
The shadow that she’ll leave on my heart

She’s leaving, she’s leaving
My altar, she’s leaving
Where will I go to pray?
I want her, I need her
I long to believe her
Words that she will not say

And I knew, of course I knew
That one day she’d tear me apart
The shadow that she left on my heart

She’s leaving, she’s leaving
My altar, she’s leaving
Where will I go to hide?
She lives on the shadows of my mind
