“Slow Black River” is about how Sam Beam’s lover makes him ignore the passing of time, his watch and chain being a metaphor for his internal clock.
In conjunction with the release of the first iteration of his Archive Series, Iron & Wine came out with a short documentary about a show he did at...
Lost my watch, watch and chain
But time's not lost
This time we walk together
Beside the slow black river
Water-walking over mud
You whisper something
Something good in my ear
So I stop so I can hear
Darling, I'm the one to blame
I threw your watch
And chain to where I don't know
Inside the tall grass meadow
You'll forget, forget in time
Remember this:
Your hand in mine forever
Beside the slow black river
Lost my watch, watch and chain
To her today
But time it has no meaning
When her and me are walking
Darling, I'm the one to blame
I love you still
And timeless now forever
Together by the river
Slow Black River was written by Sam Beam.
