Iron & Wine - Call It Dreaming Lyrics






Say it's here where our pieces fall in place
Any rain softly kisses us on a face

Anywhere means we're running
We can sleep and see 'em coming
Where we drift and call it dreaming
We can weep and call it singing

Where we break when our hearts are strong enough
We can bow 'cause our music's warmer than blood

Where we see enough to follow
We can hear when we are hollow
Where we keep the light we're given
We can lose and call it living

Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
Every night knows how long it's supposed to last
Where the time of our lives is all we have
And we get a chance to say
Before we ease away
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine

Say it's here where our pieces fall in place
We can fear 'cause the feelings fine to betray

Where our water isn't hidden
We can burn and be forgiven
Where our hands hurt from healing
We can laugh without a reason

Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
Every moon in our bodies makes shining glass
Where the time of our lives is all we have
And we get a chance to say
Before we ease away
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine

  1. A.... W....

    Hey richard schmidt

  2. G.... M....

    Casey Afflack does so good on the harmonica.

  3. v.... j....

    I can not let me forget why, I'm here

  4. L.... ....

    "we can lose and call it living". love that line.

  5. D.... J....

    No need for a Novel. I heard this song for the first time when I escaped to the Eastern Sierra on a much needed getaway. What a welcomed tune and message to have at that moment.

  6. S.... H....

    One of the prettiest songs I’ve ever heard.

  7. J.... S....

    Twilight brought me here, at least I can thank the movies for that

  8. M.... K....

    It's literally like -5 and snowing in Russia right now yet I feel like it's a summer night ...
    It makes me feel like in a another place and another time ... Just love it
    It screams good summer nights .

  9. b.... ....

    LOVE Sam, I&W, and this damn song gets me every time, ha. But can anyone explain “for all the love you’ve left behind, you can have mine?” My guess is someone who is about to pass is saying that others can have the love he has left in him. Does that make sense? It’s bothered me since the song came out. Thanks in advance!

  10. J.... E....

    Wow how am I just barley hearing about them? This is really amazing!

  11. L.... F....

    Just beautiful.

  12. I.... ....

    I love this kind of music , listening to this takes my bad mood away .

  13. E.... M....

    everyone sucks

  14. S.... ....

    Wow that was an intense emotional response to this song I just had. Haven't listened to Iron and Wine in a while and then I find this treasure! Sam Beam's music made me finally decide to pick up and try to learn guitar 11 years ago and I've stopped for a couple years now. But this has reinvigorated my old passion. My first cover I ever uploaded was his song Fever Dream. Time to learn a new Iron and Wine song!

  15. R.... L....

    Been keeping this song close to my heart. Whenever I feel lost and beaten I always find my way to this song.

  16. M.... M....

    Longmire led me here.
    "For all the love you've left behind you can have mine"

  17. S.... ....

    Check out this https://youtu.be/hMATyMFvRfQ

  18. M.... R....

    Here and Now 1x06

  19. P.... I....

    The car is opportunity and the road is us drifting through life. Opportunity finds us and brings us together on this long road we call life.

  20. S.... K....

    I’m from Thailand and I really love this music so badly ♥️

  21. �.... ....

    cute dogie looklike smart

  22. M.... G....

    Beautiful.

  23. V.... Y....

    Oelc...

  24. H.... ....

    Why does homosexual stuff always get shoved in my face when i'm trying to enjoy something wholesome?

  25. B.... O....

    This song is so underrated.

  26. A.... R....

    I don't know what's more beautiful your music or your beard.

  27. M.... Z....

    Hey *TESLA* come to pick me up 😎👍0:16

  28. J.... P....

    Great song. The music video is cringe to the 10th power. I feel like Hallmark produced it. Hipster dude with a cliche hat, black guy with long dreads, 2 lesbians and a homeless Russian guy... Did Sam, had no say in the making of this video?

    J.... P....

    But did you like the song?

  29. J.... P....

    1st heared this song on Longmire LOVE it!!!!

  30. M.... P....

    Iron and Wine the gift that keeps on giving. What a song ❤

  31. J.... W....

    Adam Pacitti brought me here 😅 thank you Adam

  32. l.... l....

    Longmire the best!

  33. M.... N....

    More cowbell!

  34. R.... a....

    I could watch Longmire all the way through again for the third time just based on this song alone. Miss those guys.

  35. J.... D....

    Wait,
    when did Tesla add Autopilot to the 1972 F-250s?

  36. G.... W....

    can one song change an entire day? Yes.

  37. A.... a....

    When shooting the music video there were no special effects used to make the truck appear to be moving. It was simply powered by the wisdom of Sam Beams beard.

  38. P.... P....

    The more I listen, the more I fall in love with this song. No words, amazing, inspiring, soothing.

  39. R.... V....

    ⭐️ Perfect message for our present 💝

  40. S.... R....

    Beautiful!!

  41. A.... S....

    Brilliant song

  42. C.... ....

    This is the only song that calmed me down when my sister died a year and a half ago & to this day, still has the same effect.
    I like to think that this song is where she is now.
    Forever grateful for you Iron & Wine.

    C.... ....

    I'm sorry. God bless you and your sister's soul.

  43. C.... D....

    Amo essa canção!

  44. G.... S....

    Maybe all it all was, eh?

  45. H.... G....

    I love Sam so much, the music video actually reminded me of a Rumi poem. “Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.”
    -Rumi. All these people from different backgrounds come together and can be happy on a new journey together. They all seem lost and may not have much in common but they all gather and embark on something beautiful, it doesn't matter what they've done or who they were, they can be happy on this new path, together.

  46. R.... ....

    anyone here from new Amsterdam?

  47. Y.... S....

    Nice & relaxing rhythm & words.😊

  48. P.... P....

    Well~Said, Mademoiselle~Tatyana!!!:)...
    ...'tis, indeed, a: Restorative~Piece, by: Monsieur~Beam!!!:)

  49. p.... ....

    I love how the music video is a literal deus ex machina lol

  50. R.... ....

    I was watching "New Amsterdam" and this song played as I am one of those baby boomers who sometimes mistakenly feels like we have the best music and we do in many ways, artists like this prove me wrong. The sad part is because a song like this does not get air time I don't hear it until it is played on a series or in a film or my child introduces me to it..GOD I love it what a great song which is going to make me listen more to this band..

  51. D.... B....

    The beginning of the autonomous Tesla car ;)
    Wonderful song!

  52. L.... ....

    Amazing work!

  53. M.... M....

    So nostalgic...

  54. k.... s....

    Give me an umbrella to shelter me from the storm of such a holistic song

  55. J.... N....

    Beautiful

  56. G.... P....

    Currently on an Appalachian Trail thruhike and this song and video brings me to tears...of both sorrow and joy. Everything Sam Beam creates is a gift

  57. D.... B....

    This video must have connected a lot of dots for Elon musk

  58. L.... K....

    Feels soothing somehow...

  59. L.... ....

    It is so inspiring to know that sweet music like this is still being made. In such a crazy, complicated world, it is great comfort.

  60. N.... J....

    For the love you left behind...
    You can have mine....

  61. L.... ....

    Very beautiful.

  62. R.... S....

    Found this somewhere else, and loved it. Thought I'd share-

    I interpret this song as being a vision of heaven, in contrast to the deceptive hell of Thomas County Law. And it’s the kind of heaven I would like to believe exists- not a whitewashed paradise where nothing bad ever happens, but rather a place where the full richness of life can be experienced, with all its struggles and hurts, but also with all the fairness promised to us by fairy tales. A place where we only break when we’re strong enough to take it. A place where it’s safe to be afraid, to hurt and heal, to make mistakes and know forgiveness. Where there is no suffering that doesn’t lead to growth and purpose. Where love is as certain as death, and death comes gentle, and we always have time to say goodbye. The time we are given is all we have, but we will savor every moment of it. *And for all the heartbreak you’ve suffered, all the love you’ve lost, I will always have enough love in me to replace it.*

  63. J.... T....

    This music heals my soul

  64. L.... H....

    So soothing, relaxing 🤙🏻

  65. A.... ....

    LONGMIRE OMG... GOODBYE IS ALWAYS IMPLIED!!!

  66. F.... C....

    🏋🏻‍♂️👈

  67. J.... K....

    Oh man, this is exactly where I'm at now, putting down the umbrella in the sun and jumping in the truck, realising the darkness we all create for ourselves in our minds, and trusting life. Laugh without a reason!

  68. M.... H....

    amor por essa música

  69. K.... M....

    So beautiful ❤️

  70. r.... z....

    wunderschön 🌺

  71. B.... H....

    quality music

  72. M.... S....

    I see you tried to troll with a 21:9 video format. But jokes on you, I'm the one person that can play this natively.

  73. E.... M....

    Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

  74. A.... ....

    We were so delighted when this record came out. Iron And Wine, huge influence on us.

  75. p.... b....

    I'll have what he's having

  76. T.... L....

    And in the end, we're all left scratching our head.

  77. a.... ....

    you can have mine

  78. D.... H....

    And you were always okay....even if it didn't feel that way at the time.

  79. D.... H....

    Tatyana, if some may say that "our generation doesn't produce good meaningful music anymore" they are not truly listening. I sang this for my mother on her death bed. She smiled and said with all the energy she had left, "Beautiful!" Thank you Iron and Wine!

  80. M.... X....

    Sweetest of dreams, my immortal beloved

  81. J.... M....

    Interesting extra wide video format.

  82. J.... L....

    oh hello

  83. J.... H....

    I just want to feel something

  84. D.... F....

    This is so beautiful: All the diverse wounded (in one case, literally), lost (literally), loving (...) people coming together, being accepted, and having "the time of their lives/Is all we have," in a place where "music is warmer than" the tribal blood that separates us, and the human blood that unites us.

  85. S.... ....

    beautiful song writing

  86. U.... M....

    👍🏾👍🏾

  87. J.... R....

    If you love this listen to his version of "Time After Time" best version next to Cyndi Lauper

  88. J.... A....

    Muito lindo , cheguei mesmo a chorar de tão linda que é a música , quem dera o mundo fosse essa música , não conhecia nem a musica nem o cantor mas hoje escutei umas 50 vezes e todas eu chorava .O mundo , ao mesmo tempo que produz lixos comerciais , produz uma joia dessa

    J.... A....

    Eu acho que essa música é sobre aceitar o que é dado e tentar viver no momento. Saudações de Markham, Ontário, Canadá

  89. t.... k....

    It'll be all right, SAM. Longmire brought me here. What a series. Loved it. And they way they used this song, in the end, was touching to anyone with a heart. They ended on the highest note.

  93. L.... M....

    Such a lovely song. I myself am a singer songwriter in my country and I look up to Sam and his work for inspiration every time.

  94. L.... ....

    Sounds good at .75x speed too, and even better at 1.25x

  95. B.... V....

    "For all the love you left behind,you can have mine"...
