  • For Richard Swift
    For John and Bill
    For every gift lifted far before its will
    Judee and Smith
    For Berman too
    I've met the myth hanging heavy over you
    I loved you long
    You rose to go
    Beneath you, songs, perfect angels in the snow
    So time to stage
    Forget reserve
    The type of great coronation you deserve

    I'm going out for a weekend
    I'm gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson
    With Either/Or and The Hex for my Bookends
    Carrying every text that you've given

    I'm gonna swim for a week in
    Warm American Water with dear friends
    Swimming high on a lea in an Eden
    Running all of the leads you've been leaving

    I'm overmatched
    I'm half as wise
    If this is flat, brother I apologize
    No one alone
    Can leave the cave
    And all you've loaned won't be kept inside the grave

    I'm gonna swim for a week in
    Warm American Water with dear friends
    Just intending that I would delight them
    Swimming high on a lea in an Eden

    Oh, oh
    Oh, oh
    So I dream, dream
    So I dream, dream

    I'm gonna swim for a week in
    Warm American Water with dear friends
    Swimming high on a lea in an eden
    Follow all of the leads you've been leaving
    And in your rarified air I feel sunblind
    I'm looking up at you there high in my mind
    Only way that I made it for a long time
    But I'm loud and alive, singing you all night, night
    Mm, oh, ooh, ooh Writer/s: Robin Pecknold

  • Alfie Carter from EnglandLove the song, shame about the video though. It is in one of my favorite playlits, but the video doesn't do much for me.
