Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down:

Lyrics:

In our days, we will live 
Like our ghosts will live 
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes
Like stubborn boys across the road 
We'll keep everything
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw that took her dog
And when sister
Lowery says Amen, we won't hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird
And the fallen house across the way It'll keep everything 
The baby's breath, our bravery wasted and our shame


And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
All the more pair of under water pearls
Than the oak tree and its ressurection fern


In our days we will say what our ghosts will say 
We gave the world what we saw fit and what'd we get
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes 
We'll see everything 
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzards wings


And we'll undress by the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire 
All the more pair of under water pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Iron & Wine - Resurrection Fern:

Lyrics:

When the men take me to the devil tree
I will be free and shining like before
Papa don't tell me what I should've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
Papa don't tell me what I could've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of God
Papa don't tell me what you would've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"
