Iron & Wine - 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

When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
We won't hear anything...
The ten-car trains 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 a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say...
We gave the world what it 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 buzzard's wing

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

    Hey, hope you still remember this song after two years. Since you mentioned this line, I figured you might have an opinion. I've been trying to piece together what he means about the baling wire, and I'm at a loss why it was included. Any idea?

    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

    When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
    We won't hear anything...
    The ten-car trains 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 a pair of underwater pearls
    Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

    In our days we will say
    What our ghosts will say...
    We gave the world what it saw fit
    And what'd we get?

    Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
    We'll see everything...
    In the tender shade of the autumn leaves
    And the buzzard's wing

    And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
    Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
    All the more a pair of underwater pearls
    Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

    Sam Beam is one of the greatest songwriters I've ever heard

    Iron and Wine was a slow-growing love for me, but here it is, in full bloom. Lovely, lovely sound.

  30. D.... M....

    Because people don't know their music like they should.

    I hate listening to Iron and Wine, but I can't stop this Masochistic behaviour
