Dearest Foresaken - Iron & Wine

To my dearest foresaken

Who the earth now has taken

Emptied, the bottle drains no more

It is true that I loved you

Despite the harm that I owed you

Wash us, the river has you boy

Here on the eve of too long

Where you’ll think I have done wrong

Waking in fear of you no more

I’ll put my trust in the savior

Feeling forces of nature

Strength of the stone may tide you boy

To my dearest foresaken

Dearest vow I have broken

Pray of your angry hands no more

Put my trust in the savior

River may have me later

Sleep at my lost love for you boy
