iron and wine's lyrics are absolutely beautiful

.
current music: iron and wine - upward over the mountain
mood: contemplative

mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
blood on the floor & the fleas on their paws
and you cried 'til the morning
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain - "upward over the mountain"

she was born to be
the woman i would know
hold like a breeze
that was tight as both eyes closed - "jezebel"

you're a poem of mystery
you're the prayer inside me
spoken words like moonlight
you're the voice that i like - "fade from the winter"

Tonight, we're the sea and the salty breeze
the milk from your breast is on my lips
and lovelier words from your mouth to me
when salty my sweat and fingertips
Our hands they seek the end of afternoon
My hands believe and move over you
Tonight, we're the sea and
the rhythm there
the waves and the wind and night is black
tonight we're the scent of your
long black hair
spread out like your breath
across my back
Your hands they move like waves over me
beneath the moon, tonight, we're the sea - "sea and the rhythm"
