Dearest Forsaken Lyrics

Lyric discussion by arrriel 

Cover art for Dearest Forsaken lyrics by Iron & Wine

i don't think these lyrics are right? the lines "Wash out the river has you boy" and "Fielding forces of nature" don't sound right to me when I listen to the actual song. It sounds like he's saying something else.

It sounds more like "Watch out the river has you boy" and "human forces of nature" to me...

Wash us, the river has you boy.

The fuming forces of nature.
