Caught in the Briars Songtext
von Iron & Wine

Back alley′s full of rain and everything's shining
As holy as she can be, the trick′s in the timing
Free as the morning birds, fragile as china (whoo-ooh-ooh)
She's stuck in the weakest heart of South Carolina (whoo-ooh-ooh)


Where all of the naked boys who lay down beside her
Sing her the saddest song, all caught in the briars

I never meant to fall so hard in her doorway (whoo-ooh-ooh)
All of the sinners here have crosses for Sunday
Kissed at the county fair, frisked in the city (whoo-ooh-ooh)
Where proof is an answered prayer, but ain't it a pity?

That all of the naked boys who lay down beside her
Sing her the saddest song, all caught in the briars
