Justin Vernon
My Whole Life Long
[Verse 1]
Lawn is green and under a mist
And the first rains pounded the ground
And just now I'm old enough for a kiss
So I'm headed for your town
Its gonna burn, its gonna be, it might open up and let me see

[Chorus]
You got your whole life long
To live your whole life long
And when your whole life is gone
And your whole life's just a song

[Verse 2]
Rabbi's hanging on a tree the is blood running to his feet
And rue love is where he wants to be as a human in history
Behind a rock, near a ravine, behind a hill, he's asking "Where is she?"

[Verse 3]
Mary roll away the stone
I can't do this life alone
I spent my whole life feeling strong
I take the past with you now I'm gone
And so I calm the depths of sin
In a starry map I swim
And I'm cool from my bones to my skin
And I follow you all the way in
[Verse 4]
Breezes touching me in a tree
It moves the branches, it moves in me
And time slows from my second story window
And Grace is napping on my knee
Its blood, its a song, to I've got that are gonna keep me moving on

[Refrain]
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
And my whole life long
