IRON & WINE LYRICS - Such Great Heights

"Such Great Heights"



I am thinking it's a sign

That the freckles in our eyes

Are mirror images and when we kiss

They're perfectly aligned



And I have to speculate

That God himself did make us

Into corresponding shapes

Like puzzle pieces from the clay



And true it may seem like a stretch

But it's thoughts like this that catch

My troubled head when you're away

When I am missing you to death



When you are out there on the road

For several weeks of shows

And when you scan the radio

I hope this song will guide you home



They will see us waving from such great heights

Come down now, they'll say

But everything looks perfect from far away

Come down now but we'll stay



I've tried my best to leave

This all on your machine

But the persistent beat

It sounded thin upon listening



And that frankly will not fly

You'll hear the shrillest highs

And lowest lows with the windows down

When this is guiding you home



They will see us waving from such great heights

Come down now, they'll say

But everything looks perfect from far away

Come down now but we'll stay
