Naked As We Came
Iron & Wine Lyrics


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
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes around the yard

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
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes around the yard

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 
Eyes wide open, naked as we came 
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard 

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 
Eyes wide open, naked as we came 
One will spread our ashes round the yard

I've been playing Iron & Wine to my daughter since she was born, now she's 11 months old I find that "endless numbered days" is an instant tantrum stopper. Thanks Mr Beam.

@Patrick Byrne I have absolutely no idea where those 15 years went. My daughter's grown up to be a a beautiful, kind, wonderful person, I couldn't be prouder.

Oh shit. She’s a teenager. Congratulations I hope you’re both well and happy. Thank you for a wonderful thought.
