Texty: Iron & Wine. Other. The Years Seal Their Beauty.

Settle down my frazzled bride

You might frighten the children awake

With that tempest you hang on your face

You raise your fist and it trembles there

Like a branch tapping the window pane

In the summertime before the rain

In the summertime before the rain



Come lay thee down my supple bride

The years seal their beauty in you

Like our time with our mothers can do

But how long now since we?ve been in school?

And we drew who we wanted to be?

We made love to our sincerity

We made love to our sincerity



Sitting down, my frazzled bride said

"God takes the anger I save

When I save it to throw in your face"

But winter?s here with it?s memories

And it?s clear that we don?t want the truth

It?s just comfort I?m wanting from you

It?s just comfort I?m wanting from you

It?s just comfort I?m wanting from you
