Glad Man Singing Lyrics & Chords By Iron & Wine

Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About a soldier want a boot and a fallen angel
Naked as a fish at night
About a sad man climbed up a willow bough
And the cops are on the fence around the dog in the manger
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide
Wide

Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About the bushes by the gas pump gone to flower
And a constant star collides
About a sad man saying: "they've forgotten how"
And a baby quit sucking when the milk went sour
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide
Wide
Wide
Wide

About a sad man lost in the hammock sway
When the bridal gown came mama spit out the window
And the cops said: "the dog won't bite"
And the sad man's saying: "they've forgotten when"
And the blood running black in the valley shadow
And the river running all the while

Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About a lover rolled over, said: "you must be tired"
And the truth coming towards the light
About a sad man knocking on a chapel door
And a burned out boat called "Tried by Fire"
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide
Wide
Wide
Wide
