Carousel |
Almost home when I missed the bottom stair |
You were braidin' 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 honeybees |
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 |
When a 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 and got lost on our new street |
While your grievin' girls all died in their sleep |
So the dogs all went unfed |
A great dream of bones all piled on the 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 in the riot squad» |
