The Tallest Man On Earth - To Just Grow Away video free download

Unofficial music video for the song "To Just Grow Away" off of the new album "There's No Leaving Now," by The Tallest Man on Earth (out now via Dead Oceans). Footage is from the 1969 short film, "A Day with the Boys," by Clu Gulager.

Lyrics:

We're melting ruby hearts

a confusing trade

to burn the ore

to shape a blade

then to swing it low

beginners fate

to lose a skin

to just grow away

Like a rain, to help a river

but a river so hard to please

but I've grown to see the diamonds

you've thrown in just for me

We spent so many nights

just gathering stones

the silver tears

old sapphire bones

all the copper leaves

then dreamt, now true

look how they find their path

to cut right through

Like a rain, to help a river

but a river so hard to please

but I've grown to see the diamonds

you've thrown in just for me

Look when your hopeless child will figure

there are moments when hope's not

only real when flagging far down a road

with an armful broken arrows

and no hand free for the bow

your kid will lose a battle

but your ways

will let him go

I lose my wish to drown

and aimless flee

what you've thrown to lose

is still right here with me.
