The Stable Song

Lyrics

Remember when our songs were just like prayers?
 Like gospel hymns that you called in the air
 Come down, come down, sweet reverence
 Unto my simple house and ring
 And ring
 ♪
 Ring like silver, ring like gold
 Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
 Ring like clear day wedding bells
 Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell?
 We'll never tell
 ♪
 Come to me clear and cold on some sea
 ♪
 Watch the world spinning waves, like some machine
 ♪
 Now I've been crazy, couldn't you tell?
 I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
 Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
 Well, I drank and sang, and passed in the stable
 Mhm, mhm
 ♪
 And that tall grass grows high and brown
 Well, I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
 And you sent me back to where I roam
 Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know
 Oh, now I know
 ♪
 And I ran back to that hollow again
 The moon was just a sliver back then
 And I ached for my heart like some tin man
 When it came, oh, it beat, and it boiled and it rang
 Oh, it's ringin'
 ♪
 Ring like crazy, ring like hell
 Turn me back into that wild haired gale
 Ring like silver, ring like gold
 Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
 Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
 Turn these diamonds straight back
 Mhm, mhm, mhm
