Resurrection Fern Lyrics

In our days we will live
Like our ghosts will live
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
And folding clothes

Like stubborn boys across the room
We'll keep everything
Grandpa's gun, the black bear claw
They took her doll

When sister Laurie says "Amen"
We won't hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word
A fledgling bird

And the falling house across the way
It'll keep everything
The baby's breath, our bravery wasted
And our shame
Iron & Wine - Resurrection Fern - http://motolyrics.com/iron-and-wine/resurrection-fern-lyrics.html
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies bound in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its Resurrection Fern

In our day we will say
What our ghosts will say
We gave the world what it saw fit
But what'd we get?

Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything
The tender shade, the autumn leaves
The buzzard's wing

We'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and his Resurrection Fern
