Woman King Songtext
von Iron & Wine

Blackbird claw, raven wing
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves
Waving as we go by

Hundred years
Hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep

Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worms, cigarette
Ash on the window sill


Hundred years
Hundred more
Some day we may see
A woman king, sword in hand
Swing at some evil and bleed

Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the shotgun shell
Age old dog, hornet nest
Built in the big church bell

Hundred years
Hundred more
Some day we may see
A woman king, bloodshot eye
Thumb down and starting to weep
