a little bit down this morning
missed my dateline
for my assignment

but your concern
your sis was sitting beside you

Don't you know that a little gesture
can make a big difference
It's heaven
but now it's hell

Just a gal
need a lot of love
calling out for love
wanting love
------------------------------------------------

Happy that I finally got some time
for myself

It has been a long time
since
I can have a cup of hot tea
sitting by myself
In an empty hall of mine

No intruders
No interupters

But there is freedom
and satisfaction

Just me and myself
my pc
and a playlist
iron and wine

perhaps what's lacking
just a glass of wine

A perfect afternoon
A perfect rainy day

though there was
a little crack in this morning

It's a peaceful afternoon
though I have canceled my plan
to go for shopping

It's a peaceful afternoon
though he didn't call nor sms
(or lucky he didn't call )

It's a peaceful afternoon
and I am pleased

For my heart is filled
For God knows what I need the most

It's nothing else,
But this peaceful moment.

Amen.

Naked As We Came (Album) - Iron And Wine

Everyone is moving ...
Are you
Part of the game
Did you win
or lose

Did it hinder you
from moving forward
oder holding you back
from advancing

Is this a joke
or a blessing
Pain and sweetness
intertwine
Twist follows twist
Thirst for more
Losing more of self


Where are you heading to
where are you going to
what's going through

not within ya control
not within ya expectation

do you wanna let it go
or hold on it
tighter
the merrier
the crazier
the more hysterical

The closer
the further
the more you know
the less you know

strangers
to lovers
lovers
to stranger
??

tears to laughter
laughter to tears
??

Cuddling together
both on heaven
pushing away
to the deepest vale

hello or bye
bye or hello

silence
silent you fool !!
silence speaking all these while.

dirty linen !!
no dirty linen , but a rift between us



part of life
part of lie

Drowning in this swirl.

Flightless bird, American Mouth

I really love Iron and Wine. His song is so poetic.Listening to his song is like browsing through a movie . I don't have a very strong background of English literature . Below is the interpretation of Flightless bird, american mouth (my favourite songs of his )by darleneinacio that I came across.

I was a quick wet boy diving too deep for coins:
He was a guy that was hard to get and only cared for money,

All of your streetlight eyes, Wide on my plastic toys:
Everyone only saw him for what he had though.

Then when the cops closed the fair:
Then he realized he wanted love

I cut my long baby hair:
he decided to grow up.

Stole me a dog-eared map:
He realized what he wanted

And called for you everywhere:
and started searching for her

Have I found you:
has he found it?

flightless bird:
this fragile helpless thing could it be her?

Jealous, weeping:
he is jealous and sad.

Or is lost you:
Or is he to late?

American mouth:
are is she spoken for?

Big pill, looming:
the thought is hard to swallow

Now I'm a fat house cat:
Now he is happy he can have all he wants

Nursing my sore blunt tongue:
can finally get some rest he don't have to call for her anymore.

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence ****s:
he watching the other girls try to tell her lies so the can get in.

****ing on magazines:
He knows it's lies

those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean:
so no matter how much the girls try the are fishing without bate

Blood of Christ mountain stream:
Because what he has is very pure.

Have I found you:
So is she the one?

Flightless bird:
this unlikely creature

grounded:
he is not going anywhere

bleeding:
He would rather get hurt

or lost you:
Well he loss her?

american mouth:
will she find another and be spoken for

Big pill stuck going down:
that would be to hard to swallow
