Fleet Foxes

Kept Woman

Fleet Foxes


Anna, you're lost in a shadow there
Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
Oh, and I know you'll be bolder than me
I was high, I was unaware

God above saw, ever in the mind
Blue and white irises in a line
Under your nameless shame
I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified

As a rose of the ocean side
Too long to the light of the morning
So unseen, as light in a dream
Too long now to the rising
Too long now to the rising

Can you be slow for a little while?
Widow your soul for another mile?
I'm just the same as when you saw me back then
And we're bound to be reconciled
And we're bound to be reconciled

Too long swinging the knife
All will wash over you in a night so unending
Not long now to the rising
Not long now to the rising

Anna, you're lost in the shadow there
Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
Oh, and I know you'll be bolder than me
I was high, I was unaware
