Belated promise ring - Iron & Wine[00:00:00]

Sunday morning, my Rebecca sleeping in with me again[00:00:21]

There's a kid outside the church kicking a can[00:00:26]

When the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind[00:00:32]

The weather can close the world within its hand[00:00:37]

And my mother says Rebecca is as stubborn as they come[00:00:43]

They both call to me with words I never knew[00:00:48]

There's a bug inside the thimble, there's a band-aid on her thumb[00:00:54]

And a pony in the river turning blue[00:00:59]

They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"[00:01:04]

My Rebecca says she never wants a boy[00:01:10]

To be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away[00:01:16]

Then to run inside and curse the open door[00:01:21]

I once gave to my Rebecca a belated promise ring[00:01:26]

And she sold it to the waitress on a train[00:01:32]

I may find her by the phone but with a fashion magazine[00:01:37]

She may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again[00:01:43]

They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"[00:01:48]

I think I could never love another girl[00:01:54]

To be free atop a tree stump and to look the other way[00:01:59]

While she shines my mother's imitation pearls[00:02:04]

Sunday evening my Rebecca's lost a book she never read[00:02:32]

And the moon already fell into the sea[00:02:37]

Saw the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flower bed[00:02:43]

Now they blend with all the lightning-tattered trees[00:02:48]

They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"[00:02:54]

My Rebecca said she knew I'd want a boy[00:02:59]

A dollar for my boardwalk red balloon, to float away[00:03:05]

She would earn a pocketful to buy me more[00:03:10]
