Lyrics Cinder and Smoke (demo) - Iron & Wine

Give me your hand
The dog in the garden row is covered in mud
And dragging your motherâ? s clothes
Cinder and smoke
The snake in the basement
Found the juniper shade
The farmhouse is burning down

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

Give me your hand
Your mother is drunk as all the firemen shake
A photo from fatherâ? s arms
Cinder and smoke
Youâ? ll ask me to pray for rain
With ash in your mouth
Youâ? ll ask it to burn again
