[00:00.58]Artist：iron and wine
[00:02.02]Songs Title：carousel
[00:03.20]
[00:36.29]Almost home
[00:37.53]And I miss the bottom stair
[00:39.72]
[00:41.28]You were braiding your grey hair
[00:43.28]
[00:45.35]And it's grown so long
[00:46.92]
[00:47.67]Since I've been gone
[00:48.79]
[00:53.20]Now the perfect girls
[00:54.83]By the pool they would protest
[00:56.51]
[00:57.69]With crosses 'round their necks
[00:59.31]
[01:02.59]But our sons were overseas
[01:03.72]And we all know about the hive and the honey bees
[01:08.02]
[01:26.09]Almost home
[01:26.53]With an olive branch and a dove
[01:31.70]You were beating on a persian rug
[01:33.63]
[01:34.19]With your Bible and your wedding band
[01:36.07]
[01:38.24]Both hidden on the TV stand
[01:39.79]
[01:40.87]And the cruel wind blew
[01:42.23]
[01:45.82]Every city father fell
[01:47.70]Off the county carousel
[01:49.01]
[01:51.83]While the dogs were eating snow
[01:53.65]
[01:54.33]All our sons had sunk in a trunk
[01:57.42]
[01:58.98]Of no one's clothes
[02:02.10]
[02:03.17]Almost home
[02:05.92]
[02:15.31]We got lost on our new street
[02:17.61]While your grieving girls all died in their sleep
[02:19.99]So the dogs all went unfed
[02:21.55]A great dream of bones all piled on a bed
[02:24.05]And the cops couldn't care
[02:25.12]When that crackhead built a boat
[02:26.30]And said please before I go
[02:27.49]May your only honor bought
[02:28.48]Be the kinship of the kids in the riot squad
