I concur. This is my favorite song by Iron and Wine. I was surprised when I found that nobody had posted the lyrics. The only problem with this song is that it's too short.
"All the while that she wept
She'd a gun by her bed
And the letter he wrote
From a dry, foundered boat."
I like that verse. It seems she was considering suicide. It also mentioned her drinking wine in the first verse and making her dream of things. So she was trying to drink her problems away, I guess. It's a very sad song. But beautifully constructed.
