Iron & Wine - 'Rabbit Will Run' - Live from the Artists Den

[@lisadunham1778]

They actually had to play this song twice that night; the first time there was some kind of issue where it didn't record properly. This was at the end of the night after an incredible set, and I assure you no one complained about hearing it twice. Love Iron and Wine!

That's fascinating! I'd never have guessed given the intensity of this performance. Thanks for the info.

His film training shows in his narrative, or story-telling, songs. He's an amazing songwriter. Make that a poet who sets his poems to music.

Sam should always tour with this band.

Last I saw mother she rose from a chair When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair 'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mare We've all learned the earth while we carried the throne We dove under the rivers and under our clothes Now I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones Last I saw mother she covered my ears When they caught me I offered the captain a beer 'Cause a rabbit will run, and a lion has nothing to fear We bricked up the garden and oh, what it means And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen And judgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there Well past the weeds and our vision of things to come We've all heard the rooster and all been denied And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise Last I saw mother she smelled like a rose When they caught me the captain, he opened my nose 'Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blows We all traded lovers and woke up alone And we clapped for the king, though our fingers were cold And I still have a prayer, one that I cannot control Once I saw mother, she acted surprised When they caught me the captain, he cried like a child 'Cause a rabbit will run, and good dogs together go wild We all live in grace at the end of the day And we've armed all the children we thought we'd betrayed And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray And judgment is just like a cup that we share I'll jump over the wall and wait for you there Well past the weeds and our visions of things to come And we've all found a reason for hiding the gun And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone And I still have a prayer and so be it, I've done what I've done Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss When they caught me the cups caught the blood from my wrist 'Cause a rabbit will run, and a pig has to lay in it's piss We've all given half to the hand in our face We've all taken a stone from the holiest place And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wake
