Miss Bottom of the Hill Iron & Wine

[Verse 1]
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want?
The sun is shinin' and your lovers always lose you in the dark
And they were all chosen to remember how the sparrows hit the window
That you closed to keep the cat out in the yard

And like your body bein' dragged behind the moon
You bring a memory of your mother like the money in your shoe
And how her penetratin' wisdom, her bulletproof religion
Always rip you like a wool off of the loom

You floated farther than you ever meant to go
And only now see you are naked when the wind began to blow
There's no advice that you've been missin'
No trespass unforgiven
Just a river with no pity for your boat

[Chorus]
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
The dogs were loose and lyin' on the street
You've learned to blend into the choir
How to hold your hand in fire
And what to say instead of what you mean
But the trouble it saves for just how hard it can be

[Verse 2]
You met the women gluin' jewels onto a crown
You know men hidin' in the city and their way of bein' found
And you got nothin' on your shoulders
Still there's nothin' too much colder
Than a rubble of a house that's fallin' down
