Iron & Wine - Gray Stables lyrics

rate me

brave lady, i could see you through

the mosses

laid, shameless in the sun

my lady with her porcelain and her

weightless

face, pleasing everyone

gray stables and the horses of the

righteous

pray daily for the brave

lady, you were gorgeous in your

weakness

wet flowers on the ground

my lady never told me of her sadness

bones floating in the sound

brave lady could you see me in the

darkness

wait, nameless like a stone

my lady with her watches by the

mattress

bathes lately all alone

gray stables and the horses of the

righteous

pray daily for the brave

lady, would you love me if i left her

laid breathless in the sun

my lady, like a teacup on the counter

frail, pleasing everyone
