I love this new song from Iron and Wine. It's a happy song about a man's love for his lady. Looking back on the memories of their budding love and how it had bloomed through the years. Time may have passed, but despite the changes, the couple is still together. The man is celebrating while saying... 'happy to be with you and you were happy for me'.
TREE BY THE RIVER
Iron and Wine
Mary Anne, do you remember
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
And the mare in the pasture
Pitch black and baring its teeth
I recall the sun in our faces
Stuck and leaning on graces
And being strangers to change
Radio and the bones we found frozen
And all the thorns and the roses
Beneath your window pane
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Mary Anne, do you remember
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
Happy just to be with you
And you were happy for me
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
And the mare in the pasture
Pitch black and baring its teeth
I recall the sun in our faces
Stuck and leaning on graces
And being strangers to change
Radio and the bones we found frozen
And all the thorns and the roses
Beneath your window pane
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world to a parted-mouth girl
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Mary Anne, do you remember
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
Happy just to be with you
And you were happy for me
