Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Carrie & Lowell
Such a long time ago
Like a dead horse
Meadowlark, drive your arrow
[Verse 2]
Season of hope, (After the flood)
Valentine, spurn my sorrow
Head on the floorboards (Covered in blood)
Drunk as a horse, fly, climb on the mattress pad, twist my arm
[Verse 3]
Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage grove shade invite me
[Verse 4]
I will bow down, (Dido's lament)
Lord of the ancient waters
From the backyard, (As far as she went)
Carrie surprised me, Erebus on my back
My lucky charm
[Verse 5]
Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children's fever
[Verse 6]
Carrie, come home, (Thorazine's friend)
Holding your hands with opal
Like a dead horse, flight of the mayfly, (Shall we ascend)
Ephemera on my back, she breaks my arm
