Iron Wine - Jezebel lyrics

who's seen jezebel?

she was born to be the woman i would know

and hold like the breeze

half as tight as both our eyes closed

who's seen jezebel?

she went walking where the cedars line the road

her blouse on the ground

where the dogs were hungry, roaming

saying, "wait, we swear

we'll love you more and wholly

jezebel, it's we, we that you are for

only"

who's seen jezebel?

she was born to be the woman we could blame

make me a beast half as brave

i'd be the same

who's seen jezebel?

she was gone before i ever got to say

"lay here my love

you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"

who's seen jezebel?

will the mountain last as long as i can wait

wait like the dawn

how it aches to meet the day

who's seen jezebel?

she was certainly the spark for all i've done

the window was wide

she could see the dogs come running

saying, "wait, we swear

we'll love you more and wholly

jezebel, it's we, we that you are for

only"
