Lyrics Okkervil River

Okkervil River

You're Untied Again

Untied again

When you were used to being bound in

When you were usually found forgetting the wild wind from 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 there 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 from the darkness of the mine a few last diamonds lined your beam

Into some shooting stream I'd spit out the dream

That you would swim away with me

Though from this milky sky I can remove my eye

And sigh upon my side

Instead some future kiss that might not exist

I will send to unbind your hands

And hang the hope you still don't miss the rope

Upon the star that shone on an aching night alone

And then some shaking song you might not sing along

I'll float upon the rough and loving winds

You're untied again

You're untied again

And that door is open

That door is open

That door is open

You can walk through it
