Calexico, Iron, Wine - Sixteen, Maybe Less lyrics
[Calexico, Iron, Wine - Sixteen, Maybe Less lyrics]
Beyond the ridge to the left
You asked me what I want
Between the trees and cicadas
Singing around the pond
"I spent an hour with you
Should I want anything else?"
One grinning wink like the neon
On a liquor store
We were sixteen, maybe less
Maybe a little more i walked home smiling
I finally had a story to tell
And though an autumn time lullaby
Sang our newborn love to sleep
My brother told me he saw you there
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
I met my wife at a party
When I drank too much
My son is married and tells
Me we don't talk enough call it predictable
Yesterday my dream was of you
Beyond the ridge to the west
The sun had left the sky
Between the trees and the pond
You put your hand in mine
Said, "Time has bridled us both
But, I remember you too"
And though an autumn time lullaby
Sang our newborn love to sleep
I dreamt I traveled and found you there
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
You asked me what I want
Between the trees and cicadas
Singing around the pond
"I spent an hour with you
Should I want anything else?"
One grinning wink like the neon
On a liquor store
We were sixteen, maybe less
Maybe a little more i walked home smiling
I finally had a story to tell
And though an autumn time lullaby
Sang our newborn love to sleep
My brother told me he saw you there
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
I met my wife at a party
When I drank too much
My son is married and tells
Me we don't talk enough call it predictable
Yesterday my dream was of you
Beyond the ridge to the west
The sun had left the sky
Between the trees and the pond
You put your hand in mine
Said, "Time has bridled us both
But, I remember you too"
And though an autumn time lullaby
Sang our newborn love to sleep
I dreamt I traveled and found you there
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
