Iron & Wine - Dearest Forsaken lyrics

To my dearest forsaken Who the earth now has taken Empty, the bottle drains no more It is true that I loved you Despite the harm now on you Wash us, the river has you boy Here on the eve of too long Where you'll think I've done wrong Waking in fear of you no more I put my trust in the savior Fuming forces of nature Strength of the stump I tied you, boy To my dearest forsaken Dearest vow I have broken Afraid of your angry hands no more Put my trust in the savior River may have me later Sleep with my love for you, boy
