Laura Marling debuted a new track early in her North-American tour. The track, according to the 9:30 Club set-list, is called “Undine”. Here is a video from the track being played in Atlanta last Sunday.

Edit, took a first try at the lyrics, any suggestions?
Made my steps towards the water
where Undine last was seen
I was told that if you saw her
it should make you more naive
Made my steps towards the shore
she calls her love at meoh Undine so sweet and pure, make me more naive
oh Undine, singing after me
oh Undine, make me more naiveThere were ropes around my wrist
The tide pulled at her hair
Pulling her away from me
and me away from there
the water tried to take her
and it may pour on that night
But she fought herself against it
love in her had not yet diedoh Undine, fight your way to me
oh Undine, make me more make me moreYou live for the sea
Oh Undine, you live for the sea
You can not you can not
You can not you can not
You can not love meIt’s cold there in the summer
so I took my coat and left
Left Undine by the embers
That’s all our fire had leftLeft Undine by the shore
When she sings her love at me
Oh Undine I shook and swore
I don’t (?)You live for the sea, oh Undine
You live for the sea
You can not you can not
you can not you can not
you can not love meWhat’s going on in there
what’s going on in there
let me in
you live for the sea, Undine
you live for the sea
you can not you can not love me
Oh yeah, according to Wikipedia, Undine is some sort of water nymph.
EDIT2: Made some changes, provided by Delgado, to the guess above.
Here’s my best attempt at the lyrics. I think I’ve got most of them right but there’s one line I’m not sure of. Great site by the way. Keep up the good work for all us fans who can’t get enough of Laura
.

What’s going on in there?
What’s going on in there?
Let me in
You live for the sea, Undine
You live for the sea
You can not you can not
You can not love me
I am liking this song a lot, I love how the theme of water with lyrics such as water/swim/river/sea keep popping up in many of LM’s songs.
As for the line ”I don’t (?)” I think Laura got her wish and fucked up on a new song and forgot the words hence the mumble!
And I’d like to echo delgado’s comments, brilliant site, this is my only source of Laura Marling related news I ever need, keep it up!
it’s :
Oh Undine I shook and swore
I don’t know what this love have seen
