| Iron & Wine – Serpent Charmer Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'll be damned if I don't her another indictment of George W. Bush here with his dusty compass to map the country's new behavior... Brave boys = soldiers Empty coats of men = the bidnessmen that they fight for The serpent charmer would be the generals leading the lambs (brave boys) to slaughter Maybe the hunter in the fourth stanza is Cheney? Can't figure out who the kitchen timer is though... I know that Mr. Beam's lyrics are always (gloriously) interpretative, but that's what I be interpretating to-nite ya'll! Fo sho, Harold |

| Iron & Wine – Walking Far from Home Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this is what I heard: I was walking far from home Where the names were not burned along the wall Saw a building high as heaven But the door was so small, door was so small I saw rainclouds, little babies And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground I saw sinners making music and I dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound I was walking far from home But I carried your letters all the while I saw lovers in a window Whisper "warn me like time, warn me like time" I saw sickness blooming fruit trees I saw blood and a bit of it was mine I saw children in a river But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry I was walking far from home And I found your face mingled in the crowd Saw a boat full of believers Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud I saw sunlight on the water Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky and woman on a speed train She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes I saw flowers on a hillside And a millionaire pissing on the lawn Saw a prisoner take a pistol And say "Join me in song, join me in song" Saw a car crash in the country Where the prayers run like weeds along the road I saw strangers stealing kisses Given only their clothes, only their clothes Saw a white dog chase its tail And a pair of hearts carved into a stone I saw kindness and an angel Crying, take me back home, take me back home Saw a highway, saw an ocean I saw widows in the temple to the Lord Naked dancers in the city How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all I saw loaded linen tables And a motherless coat then it was gone I saw hungry brothers waiting With a radio on, radio on I was walking far from home Where the names were not burned along the wall Saw a red road form a circle And it came like a call, came like a call From the lord |
