Iron & Wine

Broken Spinning Wheel

Iron & Wine


Stepping gently down the garden row
Susie she prays but yet nothing grows
Empty driveway and a flagpole tap
Breeze at her back & her hands in her lap

Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"

Mother passed away and left her these
Porcelain cups and hidden memories
Photographs of who she used to be
Clothes and a broken spinning wheel

Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"

In a book when he goes out of town
"....." Susie can't pronounce
Does she want a baby anymore?
Does she want the place she wishes for?

But Susie says she'd like to talk
Sinking sunshine past his bedtime
He says, "Talk of what?"
