Midas Tongue

Midas Tongue - Sam Beam/Jesca Hoop/Iron & Wine

Devil make the water warm and the fruit trees cold

And for us to taste them all

Little heart I poured your wine

And you poured mine

Heaven isn't always kind

Saying stars are far away

And the sunset's grey

Wind is in the heavy wings and the light stone sings

Halos and the nightfall's free

Falling off for you and me

A halo is a band of gold

And we both have one of those

God is waving on the shore

With a come his words

Disappear and reemerge

Even borrow love is sung in a midas tongue

Little heart I knew you well

You were killing my kind

When I lost you in the tide

Sing a star for all that glows in the undertow

Halos and the nightfall's free

Falling off for you and me

A halo is a band of gold

And we both have one of those
