Singers and the Endless Song - Iron & Wine[00:00:00]
When we all ran back into the briars[00:00:17]
We told our children about the foreign shore[00:00:20]
When we threw our boots into the fire[00:00:23]
We told them all about the tug of war[00:00:26]
Gonna tell them about the seed and the shovel[00:00:28]
About the prison and the promised land[00:00:31]
Gonna tell them about the dream of the devil[00:00:34]
About the hurting and the healing hand that hand[00:00:36]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:00:49]
For the singers and the endless song[00:00:52]
When we held our words up in the mirror[00:01:00]
We told our children how to hold their tongues[00:01:03]
When we held our heads beneath the river[00:01:06]
We told them all about the iron lung[00:01:08]
Gonna tell them about the sins of the father[00:01:11]
About the junkie and the jubilee[00:01:14]
Gonna tell them about the roots in the water[00:01:17]
About the killing in the quiet line of trees[00:01:19]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:01:32]
For the singers and the endless song[00:01:35]
All our morning kisses in the covers[00:01:43]
And told our children what 'worthy' means[00:01:46]
And then you wrapped your arms around another[00:01:48]
And told them what was worth a pile of beans[00:01:51]
Gonna tell them about the call of the ocean[00:01:54]
About the singers and the endless song[00:01:57]
Gonna tell them about the body[00:01:59]
And the motion[00:02:01]
And how the music never lasts too long too long[00:02:02]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:02:15]
For the singers and the endless song[00:02:18]
About the low lit alley[00:02:20]
And the wedding bed[00:02:21]
About the first born sucker[00:02:22]
And the spider's web[00:02:24]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:02:26]
For the singers and the endless song[00:02:29]
About the mind and the muscle[00:02:31]
And the weary mile[00:02:32]
About the heart and the hustle[00:02:34]
And the empty sky[00:02:35]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:02:37]
For the singers and the endless song[00:02:40]
About the tangled up truth in the perfect teeth[00:02:42]
About the pilgrim and the picking[00:02:45]
Through the chaff and wheat[00:02:46]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:02:48]
For the singers and the endless song[00:02:51]
About the butterfly kiss[00:02:53]
And the call for blood[00:02:54]
About the pig and the preacher[00:02:56]
And the holy mud[00:02:57]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:02:59]
For the singers and the endless song[00:03:02]
About the breeze in the summer[00:03:04]
And the nose will know[00:03:05]
About the sleep through the winter[00:03:07]
When the cold wind blows[00:03:08]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:03:10]
For the singers and the endless song[00:03:13]
About the lame duck lion[00:03:15]
And the thorny crown[00:03:16]
About the proud punk mule[00:03:17]
And the heavy plow[00:03:19]
Cause the music never lasts too long[00:03:21]
For the singers and the endless song[00:03:23]
About the sunburned belly[00:03:26]
And the mother's moon[00:03:27]
About the end of the music coming way too soon[00:03:28]
