Iron & Wine Iron & Wine - Soft Place To Land (feat. Jesca Hoop)

Share on

I know you're out there
Out in that weather
It's raining sideways
A hard rain
Keeping your head down
Buried in your collar
You press into the headwind
'Cause there's work to be done

If she don't cling to you
If she don't tend to you
And give you respite from your worries
And the wind that's blowing through

If you're looking for a soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand
An unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come home

Your faithful pony
Whose legs have broken
Now leaves you stranded on the high plane
When the gunshot echoes
Your heart despairing
You pack up all you can carry
'Cause there's work to be done

If she don't pray to you
And run her fingers through
I vow to always leave the light on
She don't bend to you
And she don't bow down too
And put her shoulder to the burden
That is weighing down on you

If you're looking for a soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand
An unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come

Soft place to land
The calm of a steady hand
An unconditional friend
If you need to take a moment to catch your breath
Come in before you catch your death
You don't have to pass a test to come

Soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm, soft place to land
Soft place
Mmm
