Iron & Wine – The Sea and the Rhythm Lyrics 15 years ago
I say making love. I'm a mother of two. I know that mother and child bond. And I know that the milk from your breast line is SEXUAL. I just know it. lol Of course everyone can take it how they chose... but I remember sex before and after pregnancy, and how deep and affectionate it was... and the milk from your breast... its just how close he is to her, that she has had HIS children. A flesh and blood tie. A husband and wife together, or simply permanent love in general. A lot of his songs are that way. (Love and Some Verses, Naked As We Came, etc.) I can only hope that my relationship runs as deep as his with her. This song is passion. Deep, needy, vulnerable passion. Never heard another love song that compares. Never will.

Iron & Wine – Wolves (Song of the Shepherd's Dog) Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with the prostitution assumption to a degree. The big picture... he's talking wolves, lambs, shepard's dog... wolves are clients. She's the lamb. The shepard's dog... the pimp? And ever tried to get a flea out of a bottle of oil? Actually happened one day... it's almost impossible. lol That line hit home for me. She'll never get away from him. She'll never get him 'out of her hair', even through religion. It seems to me this song is sung with a damning air woven in the lyrics... like she should have seen it coming and he has no remorse for her predicament. Too little, too late.
