Slow Black River
Iron & Wine

Lost my watch, watch and chain

But time's not lost

This time we walk together beside the slow black river


Water-walking over mud

You whisper something

Something good in my ear

So I stop so I can hear:


Darling, I'm the one to blame

I threw your watch and chain

To where I don't know

Inside the tall grass meadow


You'll forget, forget in time

Remember this:

Your hand in mine forever

Beside the slow black river


Lost my watch, watch and chain, to her today

But time it has no meaning

When her and me are walking


Darling, I'm the one to blame

I love you still

And timeless now forever

Together by the river
