![]() Woman King (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
Who's seen Jezebel?
She was born to be the woman I would know
And hold like the breeze
Half as tight as both eyes closed
Who's seen Jezebel?
She went walking where the cedars line the road
Her blouse on the ground
Where the dogs were hungry, roaming
Saying, "Wait
We swear we'll love you more and wholly
Jezebel, it's we, we that you are for only"
Who's seen Jezebel?
She was born to be the woman we could blame
Make me a beast half as brave
I'd be the same
Who's seen Jezebel?
She was gone before I ever got to say
"Lay here my love
You're the only shape I'll pray to, Jezebel"
Who's seen Jezebel?
Will the mountain last as long as I can wait
Wait like the dawn
How it aches to meet the day
Who's seen Jezebel?
She was certainly the spark for all I've done
The window was wide
She could see the dogs come running
Saying, "Wait
We swear we'll love you more and wholly
Jezebel, it's we, we that you are for only"

But I have tried listening to an albums worth, consecutive tracks one after another and I get bored and want something with a bit more variety. Same thing for me with Nina Simone (to name one). One or two songs are great, then I've had enough. |

| Rafter101 | Posted: Sep 03, 2009 - 15:38 Iron and Wine... Their daddy was Nick Drake. Their mommy was Jewell. But the kids turned out kind of boring. Nice at first, but boring in the long run. |

It's wonderful tho to have him, his wife and 4 kiddos as neighbors in Dripping Springs, TX. Beautiful album!!! |

| speakerman ((everywhere, yet nowhere)) | Posted: Jun 23, 2008 - 12:52 This song made me stop what I was typing and turn up the volume. That must mean it elevates from an 8 to a 9. |


this is the only jezebel i know of...
