Carousel Lyrics

The song Carousel is performed by Iron & Wine in the album named The Shepherd's Dog in the year 2007 .



ut our sons were overseas,
Reading all about 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.

In the cruel winter
When the city father fell
Off the county carousel

While the dogs were eating snow
While our sons at home get drunk
And hold us close

Almost home,
We got lost on our new street,
While your grieving 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 your only honor bought
Be the kinship of the kid in the riot squad.
