Naked As We Came

Iron & Wine


She says “Wake up, it’s no use pretending”
I’ll keep stealing, breathing her
Birds are leaving over autumn’s ending
One of us will die inside these arms

Chorus
   Eyes wide open
   Naked as we came
   One will spread our
   Ashes round the yard

Instrumental

She says “If I leave before you darling
Don’t you waste me in the ground”
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms

Repeat Chorus
