Sunblind (outro BG stem) Songtext
von Fleet Foxes

For Richard Swift
For John and Bill
For every gift lifted far before its will
Judy and Smith
For Berman too
I′ve met the myth hanging heavy over you
I loved you long
You rose to go
Beneath you, songs, perfect angels in the snow
The time has stayed
Forget reserve
The type of great coronation you deserve

I'm going out for a weekend
I′m gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson
With either or and The Hex for my bookends
Carrying every text that you've given


I'm gonna swim for a weekend
Warm American water with dear friends
Swimming high on a lea in an Eden
Running all of the leads you′ve been leaving

I′m over matched (for Arthur Russell)
I'm half as wise (Duncan and Curtis)
If this is flat, brother, I apologize (Jimi and David, for Nick and Otis)
No one alone (for Bell and Buckley)
Can leave the cave (Marvin and Adam)
And all you′ve loaned won't be kept inside a grave (for Arthur Russell, for Arthur Russell)

I′m gonna swim for a weekend
Warm American water with dear friends
Just intending that I would delight them
Swimming high on a lea in an Eden

So I dream, dream
So I dream, dream


I'm gonna swim for a weekend
Warm American water with dear friends
Swimming high on a lea in an Eden
Running all of the leads you′ve been leaving
And in your rarefied air I feel sun blind
I'm looking up at you there high in my mind
Only way that I made it for a long time
But I'm loud and alive, singing you all night, night
