Miss Bottom of the Hill - Iron & Wine (铁与酒乐团)[00:00:00]
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want[00:00:37]
The sun is shining and your lovers always lose you in the dark[00:00:40]
And they were all chosen to remember how the sparrows hit the window[00:00:44]
That you closed to keep the cat out of the yard[00:00:49]
And like your body being dragged behind the moon[00:00:55]
You bring a memory of your mother like the money in your shoe[00:00:58]
And how a penetrating wisdom a bulletproof religion[00:01:02]
Always rip you like a wool off of the loom[00:01:07]
You floated farther than you ever meant to go[00:01:12]
And only now see you are naked when the wind began to blow[00:01:16]
There's no advice that you've been missing[00:01:20]
No trespass unforgiven[00:01:23]
Just a rebel with no pity for your boat[00:01:25]
I've come to know that I was stealin all your kisses on the evening[00:01:30]
The dogs were loose and lyin on the street[00:01:35]
You've learned to blend into the choir[00:01:40]
How to hold your hand in fire[00:01:42]
And what to say instead of what you mean[00:01:45]
With a trouble to say for just how hard it can be[00:01:48]
You met the women gluing jewels onto a crown[00:01:54]
You know men hidin in the city and their way of being found[00:01:58]
And you got nothing on your shoulders[00:02:02]
Still there's nothing too much colder[00:02:04]
Than a rubble of a house that's falling down[00:02:07]
Liek a baby cryin till it falls asleep[00:02:13]
The autumn's over by the time you count the color of the leaves[00:02:16]
You're paintin buzzards on the ceiling[00:02:20]
Fallin faithless at the healin[00:02:23]
With your friends around you wailin on their knees[00:02:25]
And I've come to know that I was stealin all your kisses on the evening[00:02:30]
The fog it swallowed everything but us[00:02:35]
You've learned to balance on the cable[00:02:41]
Drink us all under the table[00:02:42]
And who to try instead of who you trust[00:02:45]
With a hand on your heart that threw you under the bus[00:02:48]
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want[00:02:55]
The sun is shinin and you cleaned your pretty pistol of a heart[00:02:58]
But when you talk about tomorrow[00:03:02]
When to beg and when to borrow[00:03:04]
Try to hit the ground before you hear the shot[00:03:07]
And like a fish too deep and driftin in the sea[00:03:13]
You've grown accustomed to the blindness lookin up and anxiously[00:03:16]
But there's a stone inside your pocket while you're plowin through the market[00:03:20]
But you know even the time it takes ain't free[00:03:25]
I've come to know that I was stealin all your kisses on the evening[00:03:30]
The stars were barely hangin in the sky[00:03:35]
You've learned to eat when you're not hungry[00:03:40]
How to laugh when nothin's funny[00:03:42]
And what to get instead of getting by[00:03:45]
But oh how it changes with the passing of time[00:03:48]
You heard so many voices hidden in the wind[00:03:54]
See all the children of the world and how its fingers reach for them[00:03:58]
Two branches tired of their bending[00:04:02]
I don't see our story ending[00:04:05]
Quite as clean as it was easy to begin[00:04:07]
Like a hole that let the fox under the fence[00:04:13]
You've got no solace and no sanctuary you can recommend[00:04:16]
Beggin for mercy at the bedside[00:04:20]
We got frozen in the headlights[00:04:22]
But our kind of mercy never made much sense[00:04:25]
I've come to know that I was stealin all your kisses on the evening[00:04:31]
But both were disappearin in the waves[00:04:35]
You've learned to lead the one you follow[00:04:40]
How to spit out what you swallow[00:04:42]
And when to hand instead of give away[00:04:45]
That secret of ours is one I'll take to the grave[00:04:48]
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want[00:04:57]
The sun is shinin and I think you want me more often than not[00:05:00]
But like your father in the garden[00:05:04]
I won't finish what I started[00:05:06]
Till you bill me for the flowers I forgot[00:05:09]
But like a curse too old for anyone to care[00:05:14]
You said to meet you on the mountain cause you never make it there[00:05:18]
In sochi down along the highway[00:05:22]
Proudly promisin that one day[00:05:24]
I'd miss the way we tumbled down the stairs[00:05:27]
And I've come to know that I was stealin all your kisses on the evening[00:05:32]
The car was gently glidin off the road[00:05:37]
You've learned to rise above your body[00:05:43]
How to never say you're sorry[00:05:44]
And where to go instead of going home[00:05:47]
With a light by the bed[00:05:50]
And all the clothes you've outgrown[00:05:51]
