“Iris” was originally performed at concerts in 2015 and this 2016 Daytrotter Session version was the first shared studio recording of the song. Another version of the song has since been included on the 2018 Wide Winged Bird cassette. This version excludes the outro that is found on the cassette.
[Verse 1]
We jumped straight into
The iris of the lake
You threw your arms around my neck, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
[Verse 2]
Stay up late into
The iris of the day
You said just one more cigarette, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
[Verse 3]
Man you change, you grew
You grew another face
You chewed my flesh and spit the taste, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
Big Thief released Iris (Daytrotter Session) on Tue Jun 14 2016.
