Text: Iron & Wine. Other. Dearest Forsaken.

To my dearest forsaken

Who the earth now has taken

Empty, the bottle drains no more



It is true that I loved you

Despite the harm that I own you

Wash out the river has you boy



Here on the eve of too long

Where you'll think i've done wrong

Waking in fear of you no more



I'll put my trust in the savior

Fielding forces of nature

Strength of the stump I tied you boy



To my dearest forsaken

Dearest vow I have broken

Afraid of your angry hands no more



I'll put my trust in the savior

River may help me later

Sleeping my lost love for you boy
