Iron & Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down Lyrics






When the men take me to the devil tree
I will be free and shining like before
Papa don't tell me what I should've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the wind wraps me like the reaper's hand
I will swing free until they cut me down
Papa don't tell me what I could've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

When the sea takes me like my mother's arms
I will breathe free as any word of God
Papa don't tell me what you would've done
She's the one who begged me
"Take me home"

  40. D.... B....

    i love sam beam. i've never heard an iron and wine song i didnt like.

  41. j.... g....

    @CrimsonEmpire it reminded me of a led zeppelin song, not sure if you were thinking the same though lol =)

  42. O.... ....

    @ndarewindahood i must have been drunk when i said that before, your definition is clearly the right one

  43. O.... ....

    @IcyScythe i think its about a black girl getting taken from her home in africa into slavery, just from reading the lyrics, don't know for sure

  44. O.... ....

    i heard this song on a mumford and sons station on Pandora, fell in love instantly

  45. C.... ....

    what does this intro sound like? it's really familiar.

  46. M.... Z....

    @gamemaster52 thats sam beam^^

  47. I.... ....

    what's the sing about? White/black love affair in the 1800s maybe?

  48. E.... O....

    @EZEEKEEL a beautiful oxymoron

  49. A.... B....

    can't help but move some part of my body to this... love the sorta sitar influenced solo.

  50. c.... ....

    Yay! found it on paradiseradio!!! so ecited to collect new music:)

  51. 3.... ....

    haha it really does as well!!

  52. E.... ....

    I love how he goes from straight folk to these bluesy type songs. He sounds like a professional amatuer, if that makes any sense.

  53. a.... ....

    So are those YOUR wet shiny pink lips on
    "Kto ma wiedzieć -Ski Skład (Peja", or are they your sisters??

  54. E.... ....

    i listened this on a trip, it was really cold and foggy. It was a great atmosphere for the song, and i listened to it over and over and over.

  55. F.... ....

    it is one person!!!!!
    Sam Bean

  56. a.... ....
