Beautiful words woven together by Bon Iver





errant heat to the star
and the rain let in
the hawser rolls, the vessel's whole and Christ, it's thin


well I know that you'd offer
would reveal it, though it's soft and flat
won't repeat it, cull and coffers that
for the soffit, hang this homeward
pry it open with your love
sending lost and alone standing offers


it is steep, it is stone
such recovery
from the daily press, the deepest nest, in keeper's keep


all the news at the door
such a revelry
well, it's hocked inside of everything you said to me


it was found what we orphaned
didn't mention it would serve us picked
said your love is known
I'm standing up on it


aren't we married?!
I ain't living in the dark no more
it's not a promise, I'm just gonna call it


heavy mitted love


our love is a star
sure some hazardry
for the light before and after most indefinitely


danger has been stole away
-


I like the ambiguity of this music, everybody has to interpret this their own way. I actually think it's a turbulent love that has boiled up over time, but it's a treasured love and one that will last forever. And knowing that is a security.
