I love Iron and Wine and this song's been stuck in my head for over a week now. Enjoy.
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain
Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

You are my personal music recommendation service! lol
I have liked every track you have posted here and this is no exception. Thank you for introducing me to new music that I would never have heard of, if you hadn't. ;-)
Susannah, I'm really glad you like this music. I'm happy I can share the music I love on my blog, because it does influence my poetry. I like some harder music too, but I keep most of the stuff on my blog pretty mellow.
