Iron & Wine - Sixteen Maybe Less lyrics

rate me

Beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what I want<br />

Between the trees and cicadas singing round the pond<br />

“I spent an hour with you, should I want anything else?”<br />

One grin and wink like the neon on the liquor store<br />

We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more<br />

I walked home smiling, I finally had a story to tell<br />

<br />

And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep<br />

My brother told me, he saw you there<br />

In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting<br />

<br />

I met my wife at a party when I drank too much<br />

My son is married and tells me we don't talk enough<br />

Call it predictable, yesterday my dream was of you<br />

Beyond the ridge to the west, the sun had left the sky<br />

Between the trees and pond you put your hand in mine<br />

Said, “Time has bridled us both but I remember you, too”<br />

<br />

And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep<br />

I dreamt I traveled and found you there<br />

In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting<br />

<br />

<br /><br /><br />
