Eastern Light - Tift Merritt, Iron & Wine

Light on the water makes it look easy to be free

I dream ways back to you and you a way back to me

Those days rush back, rolling in

Like the eastern light like on the tide changing

And there’s my shadow is waiting for you like it always used to

Hanging around and looking behind for you come up beside me

In the eastern light

How did we lose each other like something at sea

Was I so hard to love and so love let go of me

Out in the eastern light on the open wind

Is broken love ever forgiven

And there’s my shadow waiting for you like it always will do

Hanging around dragging behind me so that you can find me

In the eastern light

Eastern light, fill my eyes so no one knows I’m crying

Eastern light, my love is gone despite all of the trying

Eastern light, can you see the way I’ve come apart

When I think of how we did each others hearts

Light on the water makes it look easy to be free

I see it on your face and your arm around me
