This Solemn Day

Iron And Wine · Other Songs - Iron And Wine

You returned the book unfinished

About a girl with raven hair

And a gentleman, her lover

Who presented her a mare

Which she rode across the country

Leaving him to tend the land

Which had turned to dry a quarter

When it met his lonely hands



No more weeds left in your garden

No more green and no more stone

No more guilty left to pardon

Only evil of your own
