Lyrics of 'Jara' by Fleet Foxes

First sight of the first good morning
Since you’ve been out of town
First time any violet omens
Don’t shadow me around

So you want part of the great white tyrant
Of ghost after ghost?
Well you won’t stop and I know you’ll find it
Halfway down the coast

You were never afraid of fighting
You blame an angry God
And when you see the first sign of violence
You bear it all as hard

When you held her son and wept
I just felt jealous most of all
The best I had was near as bad
As the sign of the rising fall

Though we’re only alive a short while
So many beneath my feet
All weather, you walk with me
And you were off on a wandering mile
I was holding a weak excuse
I was heavy beneath blue

Now you’re off to victor
On his ladder to the sky
And I'm left to sing it with you
From my piece of the waterside

And you sang for the lost and gone who were young
And deserving more
And now I'm stood upright all night ready
When you come in the door

Though we’re only alive a short while
So many beneath my feet
All weather, you walk with me
And you were off on a wandering mile
I was holding a weak excuse
I was heavy beneath blue

All I heard
Wait for the word
You’re coming with me
