Iron & Wine
"He Lays In The Reins (Demo Version)"


One more drink tonight, let your gray stallion rest
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave

One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl
She’s like grace from the earth
If you’re all tuckered out and tame

One more tired thing, the gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night

One more gift to bring, we may well find you laid
Like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight
