Talking To Fog Lyrics - Iron & Wine

This is a surrender to the garden, to the weeds 

All our stalls are turning back to stone 

This is waking to our morning, falling through our floor 

Our broken hearts as hard as broken bones 

Sorrow says "believe me, you can walk into my mouth" 

But every time we have, it's hard to leave 

Let's say it like the sunrise when it's talking to the fog 

We're both looking for a light in the window of a house 

Beneath our winter branches, underneath our winter clouds 

But it's hard to find 

Lovers all surrender, like the garden and weeds 

It's always say when saying what mean 

Our arms are full of water and the water all wants out 

Like our meadow birds giving back their wings 

Sorrow says "believe me, you can climb into my trees" 

We know it's harder to get down each time we do 

Let's say it like the sunrise talking to the fog 

We're both listening for music by a river after dark 

And every space we're making as we pull ourselves apart 

But it's hard to find 

Sorrow says "believe me, you can beat into my breast" 

And all our bandages and bruises know it's true 

Let's say it to the sunrise shaking us awake 

We're both reaching out for love, outside wanting in 

To a room that's made of moonlight and the walls are warm as skin 

Where our memories of singing fill the air behind our heads 

And our meadow bugs are living for the only flowers left 

Where our burns return their fire and the cold can have our clothes 

Where our dying deer is folded on the soft side of the road 

Where the wind is our direction and the waves say "come along" 

Where the faces of our family and friends go on and on 

But it's hard to find
