Heavenly Father – Bon Iver (from “Wish I Was Here” soundtrack)
By
Ever since I heard the howlin’ wind I didn’t need to go where a bible went But then you know your gifts seemed heaven-sent Just lead me to a choler, dad, that’s the thing
I don’t know how you house the sin (But you’re free now) I was never sure how much of you I could let in (Am I free now?) Won’t you settle down, baby, here your love has been Heavenly father, it’s definitely lava But you don’t carry other names
Heard about a day where it dropped the know To go another day as we learn to close ‘Cause I’m a known coward in a coward wind (But you’re free now) You turn around now and you count to ten (To see you go now) Well, I know now, honey, that I can’t pretend Heavenly father, is who’s brought to his autumn And love is left in the end
I’ve just been up here for goddamn years (Can you see now?) Fillin’ up holes with goddamn fears (I am free now) I know about it darlin’, I’ve been standin’ here Heavenly father, is all that he offers A safety in the end
