Jara - Fleet Foxes

First sight of the first good morning since you’ve been out of town

First time any violet omens don’t shadow me around

So you want part of the great white tyrant, of ghost after ghost?

Well you won’t stop and I know you’ll find it, halfway down the coast

You were never afraid of fighting, you blame an angry god

And when you see the first sign of violence, you bear it all as hard

When you held her son and wept I just felt jealous most of all

The best I had was near as bad as the sign of the rising fall

Though we’re only alive a short while

So many beneath my feet

All weather, you walk with me

And you were off on a wandering mile

I was holding a weak excuse

I was heavy beneath blue

Now you’re off to Victor on his ladder to the sky

And I’m left to sing it with you from my piece of the waterside

And you sang for the lost and gone who were young, and deserving more

And now I’m stood upright all night ready when you come in the door

Though we’re only alive a short while

So many beneath my feet

All weather, you walk with me

And you were off on a wandering mile

I was holding a weak excuse

I was heavy beneath blue

All I heard

Wait for the word

You’re coming with me
