About a Bruise - Recorded at Spotify Studios NYC Songtext
von Iron & Wine

Everybody ready
(achoo, ha ha)

A weed believes the garden
Sunday clothes don′t fool me
The sky is full of our prayer, prayer
When you were making moonlight
For mall cops in Mobile
The night fell from their eyes, from their eyes
This is borrowed stone
I'd help you let your hair down
Point to birds, then you′d say, "Bang (bang) bang"
The sun left every evening, good grass was dying
You drew your dawn on the world, on the world

Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
Or walking into water after dark


Your papa saw me coming
"Blood knows when it's worth it,"
All you said, you said like a song, a song
Jesus left a best friend
Mine says "Forget her"
His field is waiting for wind, for the wind

Mobile had your moonlight
But that line cook had candy
You let it blow your candle a bit
(Hoo hoo get it everybody hoo, haha thanks)
Ring a bell that's broken
That sound is loud inside us
Flowing farther away, far away

Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
Or walking into water after dark

Love can last a lifetime
This is Alabama
And a wheel is forgiving the road, the road
Now you′re making music
For beautiful people, by the sea
Who don′t need a song, need a song

Tenderness to you was how to talk about a bruise
This is Alabama
