Iron And Wine Resurrection Fern Lyrics

Resurrection Fern Lyrics

In our days, we will live

Like our ghosts will live

Pitching glass
at the cornfield crows and folding clothes

Like stubborn boys across the
road

We'll keep everything

Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
that took her dog

And when sister Lowery says Amen, we won't hear
anything

The ten-car train will take that word, that fledgling bird

And the fallen house across the way

It'll keep everything

The
baby's breath, our bravery wasted and our shame



And we'll undress
beside the ashes of the fire

Both our tender bellies wound in baling
wire

All the more pair of under water pearls

Than the oak tree and
its ressurection fern



In our days we will say what our ghosts will
say

We gave the world what we saw fit and what'd we get

Like
stubborn boys with big green eyes

We'll see everything

In the timid
shade of the autumn leaves and the buzzards wings



And we'll undress
by the ashes of the fire

Our tender bellies are wound around in baling
wire

All the more pair of under water pearls

Than the oak tree and
its resurrection fern
