Текст песни Iron & Wine - Friends They Are Jewels

Dreamless sleep will fall
Like a deep, poisoned well
  On the steeple birds
And this red-light hotel

  So lay your pistol down, Granny
The company men never came to you
  But don't unknit your brow, Granny
The mice in the yard ate the potted plants you grew

  Pour your bitter tea
For our sweet, liquored host
  Perfect polished stones
But this breeze beats you both

  So lay your pistol down, Granny
The duty of men never fell to you
  When you unknit your brow, Granny
Your friends, they are jewels, twice as beautiful and few

          (x2)
