Iron & Wine - House by the Sea lyrics

There is a house by the sea Two jealous sisters there waiting for me And one is laid on the floor And one is changing the locks on her doors But I've been buying their time on my knees And I've been selling them blankets to bleed on Around the house by the sea The scent of roses and raspberry leaves And there is smoke in my clothes Too much time with just smoke in my nose But I've been making the meaning they lack And I've been burning that book they come back to There is a house by the sea And an ocean between it and me And like the shape of a wave The jealous sisters will sing on my grave But I've been living to run where they've led And I've been dying to rise from their bed But I've been sparing my neck from their chain And they've been changing the sound of my name And I've been swimming to them in my sleep But I've been dreaming our love and our freedom
