belated promise ring - Iron & Wine |
| [00:21.65] |
Sunday morning, my Rebecca sleeping in with me again |
| [00:26.84] |
There's a kid outside the church kicking a can |
| [00:32.20] |
When the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind |
| [00:37.75] |
The weather can close the world within its hand |
| [00:43.18] |
And my mother says Rebecca is as stubborn as they come |
| [00:48.61] |
They both call to me with words I never knew |
| [00:54.16] |
There's a bug inside the thimble, there's a band-aid on her thumb |
| [00:59.47] |
And a pony in the river turning blue |
| [01:04.96] |
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take" |
| [01:10.51] |
My Rebecca says she never wants a boy |
| [01:16.00] |
To be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away |
| [01:21.37] |
Then to run inside and curse the open door |
| [01:26.86] |
I once gave to my Rebecca a belated promise ring |
| [01:32.29] |
And she sold it to the waitress on a train |
| [01:37.72] |
I may find her by the phone but with a fashion magazine |
| [01:43.15] |
She may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again |
| [01:48.64] |
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take" |
| [01:54.07] |
I think I could never love another girl |
| [01:59.49] |
To be free atop a tree stump and to look the other way |
| [02:04.99] |
While she shines my mother's imitation pearls |
| [02:16.72] |
|
| [02:32.54] |
Sunday evening my Rebecca's lost a book she never read |
| [02:37.60] |
And the moon already fell into the sea |
| [02:43.10] |
Saw the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flower bed |
| [02:48.34] |
Now they blend with all the lightning-tattered trees |
| [02:54.20] |
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take" |
| [02:59.51] |
My Rebecca said she knew I'd want a boy |
| [03:05.19] |
A dollar for my boardwalk red balloon, to float away |
| [03:10.43] |
She would earn a pocketful to buy me more |
