“Skinny Love,” - Bon Iver

Here’s a Song for Saturday from Wisconsin native, Justin Vernon who formed Bon Iver. The song, Skinny Love, is from his new album “For Emma, Forever Ago,” available on Feb. 19.  The group starts its tour next week, so watch for them at small venues near you.  The guy’s lyrical ability is pretty amazing.

Lyrics

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
To cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order’s tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be kind
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be fine
In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different kind
And I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brazziere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be better
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different kind
When you’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
