Iron & Wine - Passing Afternoon Lyrics

her secrets still like songs I never learned

2020. Still means a lot. Thank u, Samuel

I felt bad for Wilson, but I felt even worse for House.

In life you can't get what you want...

♥ House, MD. ♥

wilson's heart, what about my heart??

Holy fucking hell, the lyrics in this song are so Poetic, beautiful, and emotional. Where did this dude come from how have I never heard this till now

"Debiste estar sólo en el autobús"

This is just my opinion..but Sam (iron and wine) has the best sense of vocal melody in folk rock genre. No one comes close..not even Bon iver, Sufjan Stevens, Damien rice , Ray lamontagne or Gregory Alan isakov! No one!

Lil Uzi anyone?👀

Still watching house md again and again! And this song... so soothing, heart touching, peaceful,
This song has a lot less views and likes than it deserves!

Im depressed. So came here to make my depression structural..

House M.D. Season 4 Episode 16 40:22

Wilson.. I'm sorry.

I've been watching House for the first time. My mom used to watch it all the time and I would always wind up watching it too when I was younger, but this is the first time I'm actually *watching* it though, if that makes sense.
I'm not going to lie, I hated Amber, and still kinda do. But Wilson... Wilson was finally happy. He'd finally found the person he truly loved, and seeing her torn away from him and his best friend partially being the reason she was gone...
Wilson didn't deserve to have that taken from him.

My baby and I both love this song

Amazing album every song will touch your soul

The lyrics are amongst the best poetry I've ever read or heard. This song captures so much imagery, it is expressive, it is simple and astounding. These lyrics hold meaning, and it is without a doubt that he felt every word he wrote and sang.
I haven't seen the show or episode that everyone in the comments is referring to, but this song deserves recognition outside of being a part of an episode. I'm want to live in a world where this music is what is played on the radio. What a peaceful world that must be.

F you house md. Seriously. F u. I can never EVER LISTEN to this and not bawl my eyes out. 😢

The lyrics makes no sense to me but still stirs my heart. Some pain, some nostalgia and strangely some peace I rarely have. Life is beautiful and painful at the same time.

It's strange how the tone, tune and chords can make you feel something particular. Music is the only thing that makes me wonder if there is a higher being, or force. I'm not religious, but music makes me spriritual .

RIP AMBER THE Cutthroat BitchBITCH

such a beautiful song

*Música boa pra krlh Vlw shazam*

This song makes me cry every single time. Thanks, House. M. D.

I'm gonna miss you.

It's really a poem

House: Because life shouldn’t be random. Because lonely, misanthropic drug addicts should die in bus crashes, and young do-gooders in love, who get dragged out of their apartment in the middle of the night, should walk away clean.
RIB Amber 😭💔

This song is perfect for this moment

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days

Love his voice

Alas, poor scrappy

Great song!!

never in television or cinematic history was a song better suited for a moment. still rends my heart over ten years later

It's a tie between this and the song for Yondu's funeral from GotG2

what the heck are you guys talking about, I just thought its a good song :/

I just watched this episode again. Made me almost cry all over again. Reminded me that I'm still capable of being sad over a TV show.


I wondered why the show had to kill her off before, but after watching every episode after Amber's death, I realized Wilson's character had to always need House just as House always had to need Wilson.


If Amber lived, Wilson wouldn't have a reason to need House anymore. House will then lose the only friend he has and possibly half the reason why he hasn't killed himself yet, the other one his passion for solving puzzles. And even if the latter never ran out, no way it would go out drinking with him or help him when he's struggling in life.

LYRICS

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from the piles of fallen leaves

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children until she let's them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds

There are things we can't recall, Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

i want stay here, because doesn't hurt.

WHOs LISTEninG in 2019

Feel like this dude must have morphed into a lesbian just to write this song, because holy fuck, what this song is about

In the infobox the word "ass" is censored lmao.
but not even the word itself but pa*s, gra*s, pa*sing

This was how Amber felt when she passed.

I’m sorry Wilson

Sublime.

Scusa Wilson ...

Well.. You can't always get what you want House

house M.D la mejor serie amenizada por la mejor musica

No hay forma de no deprimirse recordando la escena de House y Amber en el bus ;(

This song is so calming. I guess you could say, it represented Amber's peaceful death. She didn't hate House at all. She understood that there was a danger to being with him, but she took it anyway because she shared similar qualities with him.

Thank you house MD for the song

I hate to admit, Wilson's heart was a tear jerker #house

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from the piles of fallen leaves

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children until she let's them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds

There are things we can't recall, Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

I cried so much after that scene when Amber died...I couldn't stop! :'(

Oh, Amber...

You cant always get what you want

Everybody is saying "House" but what about that Degrassi episode with Adam and Fiona and Eli and Clare?

Recently finished House's series, and while there were many amazing episodes after this one... I have come to the definite conclusion that this 2-part Finale of Season 4 were the best episodes of the whole show. And thanks to House, this song will be played at my wedding.

What America did you have . . . ?

This might be the saddest song on house 😔😔

Utterly sublime

i have been listening this song since i know i have huntington diseaes

El corazón de Wilson 😢😢😢😢

John McCain

Cutthroat Bitch!

Amber...

I cried after that episode :(

Most beautiful, heart breaking song ever❤️ #wilson's heart

The song choices for house are just....WOWWWWW !!!!

You can't always get what you want 💔

Im here because I love this song, and I have no idea who Wilson is or Amber is

WILSON: It's not okay. Why is it okay with you? Why aren't you angry?

AMBER :That's... not... the last feeling I want to experience.

Some say that house unconsciously caused Ambers death. Her and wilson were too happy together and house didnt want him to move on because he wouldve been alone

what a *great* episode...

I didn't even like Amber, but Wilson... and House.

Did anyone get here besides a f in show? Damn!

Can I cry?

Wilson's Heart

It's 04.01 a.m. and i dont know why i m listening this sing now

Lovely track

“Get off the bus”
“I can’t”
“Why not?”
“Because it doesn’t hurt here...I don’t want to be in pain, I don’t want to be miserable...and I don’t want Wilson to hate me”
“Well...you can’t always get what you want”

Such a powerful scene and amazing acting by Hugh

i really love myself

A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

I don't know why but I keep thinking of the guy from Walk Off The Earth when I see this guys portrait.

house got me here

I wonder if this song is relevant to everyone's life

Why Amber? Why? I’m so sorry Wilson. I’m so sorry...

This is such a beautiful song.

Best moment in House... Best season in House...

R.I.P. cut throat bitch

We always want a few more minutes

And that's understandble.After all,love is the only thing in life that should last forever.And I think that it does. 😊

Uma bela canção.

Lloré tanto cuando ocurrió lo de Amber en la serie de Dr. House, y ¡BOOOM! Ponen justamente esta canción que quedó perfecta, sentí tan feooooo :(.

it gonna be a meme

fuck that! it's so saaaaaaad

the piano version at the end of the song is what makes this song for me

I'm here cause i like good music.

what are these comments about?

KensoulEu , Dr. House MD.
The best thing that ever appeared on TV.

Welcome to Iron and Wine House MD people. He’s a great artist capable of really setting a specific mood. You shouldn’t just stop at this song.

Get off the bus! I can't Why? Because it doesn't hurt here!
