Such Great Heights
by The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into corresponding
Shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine but the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows
With the windows down when this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now..."

They will see us waving from such great heights...

I love that song.

Have you got the cover of it by Iron & Wine?

No, I haven't heard it, although I do agree this is a great song. Oddly enough, I can't even remember where I first found the song, nor did I realize it was so famous. It might have been one of those Salon.com downloads.
