Yesterday I heard this startlingly beautiful ode to love and mortality;

Iron and Wine – “Naked As We Came”

She says wake up it’s no use pretending
I’ll keep stealing breathing her
Birds are leaving over Autumn’s ending
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard

She says if I leave before you darling
Don’t you waste me in the ground
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard
