Iron and Wine - Boy with a Coin
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHw7gdJ14uQ"]YouTube- Iron and Wine - Boy With a Coin[/ame]
Boy with a coin he found in the weeds
with bullets and pages of trade magazines
close to a car that flipped on the turn
when God left the ground to circle the world
Hey--- Oh----
Girl with a bird she found in the snow
that flew up her gown, and that's how she knows
that God made her eyes for crying at birth
then left the ground to circle the earth
Hey--- Oh----
Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
then making a wish, and tossed in the sea
then walked to a town that all of us burned
when God left the ground to circle the world
