Iron & Wine - Ghost On Ghost

Caught In The Briars

Back alley's full of rain and everything's shining
As holy as she can be, the trick's in the timing
Free as the morning birds, fragile as china (whoo-ooh-ooh)
She's stuck in the weakest heart of South Carolina (whoo-ooh-ooh)

Where all of the naked boys who lay down beside her
Sing her the saddest song, all caught in the briars

I never meant to fall so hard in her doorway (whoo-ooh-ooh)
All of the sinners here have crosses for Sunday
Kissed at the county fair, frisked in the city (whoo-ooh-ooh)
Where proof is an answered prayer, but ain't it a pity?

That all of the naked boys who lay down beside her
Sing her the saddest song, all caught in the briars
