Iron & Wine
Iron and Wine’s lyrics tend to resist literal interpretation. The language here zooms in to the near-mathematical level of “two dots where a single was,” and zooms out to “the sparrow’s height.” Likewise, we feel the contrast between the intimate gentleness of “sleep just when the wind is low” again...
[Verse 1]
You, strong as a virgin birth
Me, keepin' your every word
Two dots where a single was
Three countin' the little one
[Chorus]
We sail in the smallest boat
Sleep just when the wind is low
[Verse 2]
You see from the sparrow's height
Me, seeking you every night
Two sailin' towards the sun
Three countin' the little one
[Chorus x2]
We sail in the smallest boat
Sleep just when the wind is low
