Iron & Wine - One Way To Pray Lyrics
You can see with your wounded eye
Crossing low narrow streets at night
Like a car crash fighting for road
You'd rather sleep alone
And my love song might ask too much
How your shadow grows bitter and long if I enter it wrong
I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong
I could heal but my hands are cold
You could lend me your broken bones
Letting love keep climbing the stairs to comb your long hair
You can sleep where no dreamer goes
Build a house more of stone than home
(Song reappears)
Open sky receiver (Song reappears)
Open sea receiver (Song reappears)
Open land receiver (Song reappears)
Red ember believer (Song reappears)
Open eye receiver (Song reappears)
Open mouth receiver (Song reappears)
Open palm receiver (Song reappears)
Burning heart believer
You can sing with your tired lungs
Know the wind and we'll take what comes
It's a tough road taking the name they'll call on our grave
We're alive on our thunder clouds
Taking hymns out our mothers' mouths
Swimming out to the incoming waves
That's one way to pray
(One way to pray)
Open eye receiver (One way to pray)
Open mouth receiver (One way to pray)
Open palm receiver (One way to pray)
Burning heart believer (One way to pray)

LYRICS
You can see with your wounded eye
Crossing low narrow streets at night
Like a car crash fighting for road
You'd rather sleep alone
I've got arms that can't hold enough
And my love song might ask too much
How your shadow grows bitter and long if I enter it wrong
I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong, I enter it wrong
I could heal but my hands are cold
You could lend me your broken bones
Letting love keep climbing the stairs to comb your long hair
You can sleep where no dreamer goes
Build a house more of stone than home
Pray for music with a reverent ear and the song reappears
(Song reappears)
Open sky receiver (Song reappears)
Open sea receiver (Song reappears)
Open land receiver (Song reappears)
Red ember believer (Song reappears)
Open eye receiver (Song reappears)
Open mouth receiver (Song reappears)
Open palm receiver (Song reappears)
Burning heart believer
You can sing with your tired lungs
Know the wind and we'll take what comes
It's a tough road taking the name they'll carve on our grave
We're alive under thunder clouds
Taking hymns out of mothers' mouths
Swimming out to the incoming waves
That's one way to pray
(One way to pray)
Open eye receiver (One way to pray)
Open mouth receiver (One way to pray)
Open palm receiver (One way to pray)
Burning heart believer
I love this album, on the song One Way to Pray I always mishear the lyric in the chorus as "zombie appears" and I love that
It totally sounds like zombie appears!
The most soothing way to deal with the drive home from a long day at work. I dare you to not feel better after listening to this song.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
