Lyrics: Justin Vernon
Music: Justin Vernon
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Heavenly father
It's definitely lava
Why you don't carry other names?
[Verse 2]
Heard about a day where it dropped the Know
To go another day as we learn to close
[Pre-Chorus]
'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
[Chorus]
Heavenly father
Is who's brought to his autumn
And love is left in end
[Pre-Chorus]
I just been up here for God damn years
Can you see now?
Filling up hulls with God damn fears
I am free now
I know about it darlin', I've been standin' here
[Chorus]
Heavenly father
Is all that he offers
A safety in the end?
