Iron & Wine
While there are a few restrained and enigmatic images, this song simply packs such an emotional punch. Loss and bitterness can be clearly seen, as well as strong and conflicting emotions as seen through; “You’ll ask me to pray for rain, with ash in your mouth, you’ll ask it to burn again”.

[Verse 1]
Give me your hand
The dog in the garden row is covered in mud
And dragging your mother's clothes
Cinder and smoke
The snake in the basement
Found the juniper shade
The farmhouse is burning down
[Verse 2]
Give me your hand
And take what you will tonight
I'll give it as fast
And high as the flame will rise
Cinder and smoke
Some whispers around the trees
The juniper bends
As if you were listening
[Verse 3]
Give me your hand
Your mother is drunk
As all the firemen shake
A photo from father's arms
Cinder and smoke
You asked me to pray for rain
With ash in your mouth
You'll ask it to burn again
