"Loretta" lyrics - IRON & WINE

Look at the shadow on our trees
Seems to mean an early dusk
Loretta looked up, the grey sky low
Two-by-two on the bus

Water and anger in our house
Though she spoke of rainbows
Reachin' the roof with soakin' shoes
River's up, where'd she go?

[Chorus:]
You're wiser, oh Loretta
You're wiser, and only twenty-five

During the TV floatin' by
Through our room and out the door
Loretta, she prayed for what to do
If it rained any more

She was a wash-cloth wet with love
I was not; she was mine
I'm in the olive tree next door
River's up to my eyes

[Chorus:]
You're wiser, oh Loretta
Much wiser, and only just in time
