Iron And Wine - Carousel Lyrics

Send "Carousel" ringtone to your cell

Almost home 

When i missed the bottom stair 

You were braiding your gray hair 

It had grown so long 

Since i'd been gone 

And the perfect girls 

By the pool they would protest 

The cross around their necks 

But our sons were overseas 

And we all know 'bout the hive and the honey bees. 

Almost home 

With an olive branch and a dove 

You were beating on a persian rug 

With your bible and your wedding band 

Both hidden on the tv stand

And the cruel wind blew 

Every city father fell 

Off the county carousel 

While the dogs were eating snow 

All our sons had sunk in a trunk 

Of noah's clothes

Almost home 

We got lost on our new street 

And your grieving girls all died in their sleep 

So the dogs all went unfed 

A great dream of bones all piled on a bed 

And the cops couldn't care 

When that crackhead built a boat 

And said "please before i go 

May our only honored bond 

Be the kinship of the kids and the riot squad"
