Songtext Calm on the valley Iron & Wine

Calm on the valley

There's a rooster, a hen, a black dog

By my kid in the yard

And I've tattooed the head

Of the woman I've wed on my arm

We sit on the lawn

And she winks and she yawns

At the sound that the setting sun makes

As it lights up the lake and goes down

And you ease my troubles with your hands

Like the night puts a calm on the valley

Moved my shaking castle from the sand

When you gave me your soul for to marry

Dum da dum, da da dum . . .

The cicadas in tune ain't too noisy for you

But too fast, as the night eases in

Like dark wine on our skin and the grass

Now the moon's high above

You're the woman I've loved for so long

It's the last goodnight kiss and

These moments I miss when you're gone
