Barrel House – Band Of Horses – letras

Shifting the chair on the porchFor a better position to enjoy the warmthOf the sunTo keep warmAnd working the needle and twineLost in the furthest recess of the mindIt is calmThere is peaceA cat on his lap and a dog at her feetBut ohThe heart of a manThe secrets they bury withinAnd ohThe causes that force his poor handLead to be misledAt those deceiving handAnd it’s a night among easily describedMisunderstanding our thoughts by and byI’m barely hereIf even at allA fear of the misunderstoodInvites the violenceRight in chasing off all the goodWe have broughtAll on ourselvesLet it straight by the wordsOf somebody elseAnd ohThe life of a manHis head above the waterAnd pushed under againAnd ohI’ve seen it one too many timesIt’s a test of the spirit versusThe health of the mindOhBring relief to him nowAnd the people he lovesOhI know the feeling’s the feeling butNot what it’s calledOhOhThe will of a manAnd all his well meaning intentAnd ohThe thought of it allAs far as we’ve comeWe’re still further to goOhAll the years we lostThey don’t mean nothing at allOhLifting the spirit impression of a sonOhBring some peace to his heartAnd a wondering thoughtBring some peace to this worldAnd keep passin’ it on
