Lyrics Iron & Wine – Soft Place To Land

I know you’re out there
Out in that weather
It’s rainin’ sideways
A hard rain

Keepin’ your head down
Buried in your collar
You press into the head wind
Cause there’s work to be done

If she don’t cling to you
If she don’t tend to you
I’ll give you respite from your worries
And the wind that’s blowin’ 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

You’re faithful pauly
Who’s legs have broken
Now leaves you stranded in a high plane
Your gunshot echos
Your heart despairin’
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
How about I’ll always leave the light on
She don’t bend to you
And she don’t bow down too

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…

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…soft place to land…
