Lyrics Devendra Banhart

Devendra Banhart

When the Sun Shone on Vetiver

When the sun shone on vetiver

When the sun shone on vetiver

When the sun shone down on her

Well, there's silver in that hole

Yeah, there's silver in that hole

Yeah, there's silver and coal

And they're longing for the land

And they're longing for the land

For nature's forgiving hand

And we're drifting

And we're sailing

And we're drifting

And we're sailing

And we're drifting

Sailing...

Now the sun aligns you legs

And your lips and arms and breasts

And the moon pours weather then

And your branches claw around my claws

Your branches claw around my claws

And my leaves brush against your paws

And we're dancing

And we're dancing

And we're dancing...

In ireland my baby waits for me

In greeceland my baby waits for me

In spainland my baby waits for me

In ireland my baby waits for me

In all lands my baby waits for me

Waiting patiently

She's waiting patiently

Waiting patiently

Waiting patiently

I fall in love
