You could make gray and call it gold
Let it fool your eyes
You could make rain and let it have your life
Being green grass, any little wind
Begs you for a dance
You could say love until it lasts
You could make good, there's a lot of ways
With nowhere left to go
Let it be the song on your little radio
You could make light, be the silly word
Sitting on a tongue
You could make nice or beat a drum
Don't you wanna know how far you're gonna go
Fickle as tomorrow talking to a wind chime
Folding your hands, empty as glass
Waiting to break
Don't you wanna know how close you're gonna get
Kissing like people stepping on flowers
Wishing on stars empty as glass
Waiting to break
You could have a heart until it's pouring out
If it's in your blood
You could make waves and then you better run
Being black cloud, there's a lot to say
And so much room to grow
You could make rain, you never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know...
You could make gray and call it gold
Let it fool your eyes
Follow any wave crashing down to size
You could be wrong, don't you wanna know
Deep into the night
Like a little stone thrown across ice
Ice
Ice
Ice
Let it fool your eyes
You could make rain and let it have your life
Being green grass, any little wind
Begs you for a dance
You could say love until it lasts
You could make good, there's a lot of ways
With nowhere left to go
Let it be the song on your little radio
You could make light, be the silly word
Sitting on a tongue
You could make nice or beat a drum
Don't you wanna know how far you're gonna go
Fickle as tomorrow talking to a wind chime
Folding your hands, empty as glass
Waiting to break
Don't you wanna know how close you're gonna get
Kissing like people stepping on flowers
Wishing on stars empty as glass
Waiting to break
You could have a heart until it's pouring out
If it's in your blood
You could make waves and then you better run
Being black cloud, there's a lot to say
And so much room to grow
You could make rain, you never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know...
You could make gray and call it gold
Let it fool your eyes
Follow any wave crashing down to size
You could be wrong, don't you wanna know
Deep into the night
Like a little stone thrown across ice
Ice

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.
