Iron And Wine - Swans And The Swimming

swans and the swimming – iron and wine

intro – Fm Cm D# A#

verse – Fm Cm D# A# ( throughout )

’take me again’ she said thinking of him
’to the pond with the swans and the swimming’
far from his room that familiar perfume
how it left her aware she was naked

the lesson she learnt as the memory served
is to marvel with love at the sunset
and walking away at the dark end of day
she will measure and break like a habit

chorus – G# A# D# A# G#

oh how the rain sounds as loud as a lovers words
now and again she’s afraid when the sun returns

verse – Fm Cm D# A#

’take me again’ she said thinking of him
’i don’t care for this careful behavior’
a brush through her hair , children kissing upstairs
keeps her up with her want for her savior

the sun on the sand , on her knees and her hands
as she begs for her fish from the water
but turned him away , she’s a whip and a slave
given time she may find something better

chorus – G# A# D# A# G#

oh how the rain sounds as loud as a lovers words
now and again she’s afraid when the sun returns

outro – Fm Cm D# A#
