Okkervil River Lyrics
You're Untied Again
Untied again, when you were used to being bound in, when you were usually found
forgetting the wild wind off the sea. Let wet breaths begin, widen your mouth to
suck them in. They're coming out above your chin, and then they slide in and so
sweet. And to some silent bird, I sang “have you heard that icicles hang from
your feet?” What passed as fine, you'll think back on that sometime; when in the
darkness of the mine a few last diamonds lined your beam. Into some shooting
stream I could spit out the dream that you would swim away with me. Though from
some milky sky I could remove my eye and sigh upon my side, instead some future
kiss that might not exist I will send to unbind your hands, and to hang the hope
that you don=t still miss the rope from a star that shone on an aching night
alone. And then some shaking song you might not sing along I will float upon the
rough and loving winds: You're untied again. You're untied again. And that door
is open. You can walk through it.
