Lyrics Eastern Light - Tift Merritt, Iron & Wine

Eastern Light

Light on the water makes it look easy to be free
I dream ways back to you and you a way back to me
Those days rush back, rolling in
Like the eastern light like on the tide changing
And there’s my shadow is waiting for you like it always used to
Hanging around and looking behind for you come up beside me
In the eastern light
How did we lose each other like something at sea
Was I so hard to love and so love let go of me
Out in the eastern light on the open wind
Is broken love ever forgiven
And there’s my shadow waiting for you like it always will do
Hanging around dragging behind me so that you can find me
In the eastern light
Eastern light, fill my eyes so no one knows I’m crying
Eastern light, my love is gone despite all of the trying
Eastern light, can you see the way I’ve come apart
When I think of how we did each others hearts
Light on the water makes it look easy to be free
I see it on your face and your arm around me
