Blackbird claw, raven wing
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirt sleeves
Waving as we go by
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep
Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette
Ash on the window sill
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, sword in hand
Swing at some evil and bleed
Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the shotgun shell
Age old dog, hornet nest
Built in the big church bell
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, bloodshot eye
Thumb down and starting to weep
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirt sleeves
Waving as we go by
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep
Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette
Ash on the window sill
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, sword in hand
Swing at some evil and bleed
Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the shotgun shell
Age old dog, hornet nest
Built in the big church bell
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see
A woman king, bloodshot eye
Thumb down and starting to weep
Iron & Wine
Samuel Ervin Beam (born July 26, 1974), better known by his stage name Iron & Wine, is an American singer-songwriter. He has released six studio albums, several EPs and singles, as well as a few download-only releases, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance). He occasionally tours with a full band.
Beam was raised in South Carolina before moving to Virginia and then Florida to attend school. He now resides in Durham, North Carolina. The name Iron & Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named "Beef, Iron & Wine" that he found in a general store while shooting a film.
