Iron & Wine - Tree By The River Lyrics
Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
pitch black and baring its teeth.
I recall the sun in our faces,
stuck and leaning on braces,
and being strangers to change.
Radio and the bones we found frozen,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window pane.
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.
Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you're saying today.
Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.
Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you're saying today.
Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;
happy just to be with you,
and you were happy for me.

please put this on spotify. this recording exactly. please.
Gregório Duvivier, é você?
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
"I wonder to who and what it is youre saying today" has got to be one of the most painful things to hear when you miss someone in your life
I really wish i was still a part of her life
It is wonder full you got to have her in your life.
Did he record this song?
Why isn't Sam Beam famous.... ?? His singing and songwriting are superb...
It's funny. I was - am - I'm still figuring that part out - dating a girl named Mary Ann, and when I would go and visit her, I'd sleep in a car. And she's a potty-mouth girl. It's almost as if this song was written about us. Obviously it wasn't, but it's one of the most literally relatable songs I've ever heard.
being strangers to change
beard was before you hipsters showed up
The last line is everything
I was just going to say that :)
It really is.
Earth wizard!
The amount of views and likes on this video does not do justice to the awesomeness of this tune, in this setting, in this studio, and in this channel... Simply amazing!
I wish he had more stuff like this the quality of this beats allot of the recordings for me
100% agree he's way better live and fresh.
ah puta que o pariu, não aguento nunca ter visto ao vivo =(
tamo junto vei
Tab, anyone?
Love this song! I covered this song, check it out. Hopefully I did some justice to this masterpiece.
These acoustic versions played at KEXP are so much better than the CD. I have discovered about him here and then i went to check the actual recordings. They are not bad, but kind of frustrating in my opinion. I like these here so much better.
I disagree, his albums are usually amazing and have amazing songwriting. He also has some excellent musicians that play for him! Check out Ghost by Ghost for some stuff you might enjoy!
I agree when it comes to this song. I like the tiny desk version even better
I'm a huge fan of SAM BEAN, maybe not that much from Iron & Wine hahah! Nothing compares to this single guitar + voice of this guy
sam beam is iron and wine
Personally, I always like the melodies more live, but I don't like how dry the recording is, at least on the KEXP recordings
wonderful
KEXP, you're the best, and I love you.
What a magnificent beard! The music is beautiful too
I Just love this guy
Hell Yeah. Sam Beam... This is the nicest guy ever. Really good songs and yet so underrated. tks for sharing KEXP
