The Truest Stars We Know - Iron & Wine

Someone gets to be the river, someone is the sea

Someone gets to be the fire, someone is the leaves

And someone’s walking in the morning light and calling to it cold

Everybody moves beneath the truest stars they know

Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the suicides and the orphans

Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life

Someone has the door to heaven, someone has the lock

Someone has to be the dog when someone has to walk

And someone’s talking to the miles around and hearing them for good

Everybody’s branch is falling harder than they should

And I know Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the broken to be noticed

Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life

Back to life

Back to life
