Iron & Wine - Woman King Lyrics






Blackbird claw, raven wing
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves
Waving as we go by

Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep

Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette
Ash on the window sill

Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, sword in hand
Swing at some evil and bleed

Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the shotgun shell
Age old dog, hornet nest
Built in the big church bell

Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, bloodshot eye
Thumb down and starting to weep

    Blackbird claw, raven wing
    Under the red sunlight
    Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves
    Waving as we go by

    Hundred years, hundred more
    Someday we may see a
    Woman king, wristwatch time
    Slowing as she goes to sleep

    Black horse fly, lemonade
    Jar on the red ant hill
    Garden worm, cigarette
    Ash on the window sill

    Hundred years, hundred more
    Someday we may see a
    Woman king, sword in hand
    Swing at some evil and bleed

    Black hoof mare, broken leg
    Eye on the shot gun shell
    Age old dog, hornet nest
    Built in the big church bell

    Hundred years, hundred more
    Someday we may see a
    Woman king, bloodshot eye
    Thumb down and starting to weep
