LYRICS:
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back 
In the shade of the meadowlark 
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost 
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Iron & Wine - Call It Dreaming

We made this today. It felt like the song should go out now, because it's about what's happening now, it's about where we live and if we waited too long the sentiment could go stale. We don't want to be too descriptive or conclusive here, our only hope is that you listen, enjoy and share it. 

Thank you

LYRICS...

(Verse 1)
Yea i’d fly away
Honey i would fly away
If you ask me if you if you ask me

I got mad dreams, wonder if we catch heat
We could rent a car, live on out the back seat

Got my girl here, we ain't got no worry here
Turn the day round, we could run away now
We could seize the moment run it like a playground
We could do whatever honey if you say now

(Pre-Chorus)
Now now now
We could leave this town
We could do whatever we want to, want to

(Chorus)
Simple man from Africa
One day love i'll marry ya
Home is anywhere we are

I don't drive no shiny car
Dine in suits or smoke cigars
but i'll love you to the stars

(Verse 2)
What a day, what a day
Now won't you listen to what i've got to say
Girl heed the man on the steeple
Love we don't need no other people

We need the right way
But we do em our way
Oh you're my best-friend, hit the road then text them
We ain't gotta try impress them all

(Verse 3)
Tell your friends, i'll tell my friends, we'll lay the plans yea
Then i'll call me an Uber to your ends yea
We can break it to your mama, make amends yea
We'll lay the plans yea
Go for the win yea 


(Pre-Chorus)
Now now now
We could leave this town
We could do whatever we want to, want to

(Chorus)
Simple man from Africa
One day love i'll marry ya
Home is anywhere we are

I don't drive no shiny car
dine in suits or smoke cigars
but i'll love you to the stars
