  • I am my mother's only one
    It's enough

    I wear my garment so it shows
    Now you know

    Only love is all maroon
    Gluey feathers on a flume
    Sky is womb and she's the moon

    I am my mother on the wall, with us all
    I move in water, shore to shore
    Nothing's more

    Only love is all maroon
    Lapping lakes like leery loons
    Leaving rope burns
    Reddish rouge

    Only love is all maroon
    Gluey feathers on a flume
    Sky is womb and she's the moon Writer/s: Justin Deyarmond Edison Vernon
    Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

  • Jl from Rome, Georgia, UsaActually pretty bad ass story, hunting for his food and splitting firewood while recording this album.
  • Sian from Sydney, AustraliaBon Iver (Justin Vernon) has always reminded me slightly of the story of Christopher Mcandless, living off the land. I saw him live in January, he was f##king amazing.
