Carnage

I always seem to be saying goodbye

And rolling through the mountains like a train

My uncle’s at the chopping block

Turning chickens into fountains

I’m a barefoot child

Watching in the rain

That stepped into this song

Taken a bow and stepped right out again

I’m sitting on the balcony

Reading Flannery O’Connor

With a pencil and a plan

This song is like a rain cloud

That keeps circling overhead

Here it comes around again

And it’s only love

With a little bit of rain

And I hope to see you again

A reindeer frozen in the footlights

Steps back into the woods

My heart it is an open road

Where we ran away for good

Look over there, look over there

The sun, a barefoot child with fire in his hair

And then a sudden sun explodes

It was you, it was you and only you

And it’s only love

Driving through the rain

Rolling down the mountains

Like a train

It’s only love

And it comes on like a train

Rolling down the mountains

In the rain
