Iron & Wine - Tree by the river

^G Mary Anne, do you ^C remember the tree by the river when we were ^G seventeen?

^G Dark canyon wall, the call and the ^C answer and the mare in the pasture pitch black and baring its ^G teeth.

^G I recall the sun in our ^C faces, stuck and leaning on braces, and being strangers to ^G change.

^G Radio and the bones we found ^C frozen, and all the thorns and the roses beneath your window ^G pane.

^C Now I’m asleep in a ^G car, I mean the world to ^C a potty-mouth girl, a pretty pair of blue-eyed ^G birds.

^C Time isn’t kind or un- ^G - kind, you liked to say. But I ^C wonder to who what it is you’re saying ^G today.

^G Mary Anne, do you ^C remember the tree by the river when we were ^G seventeen?

^G Dark canyon road, I was coy in the ^C half-moon; happy just to be with you, and you were happy for ^G me.
