| [00:36.29] |
Almost home |
| [00:37.53] |
And I miss the bottom stair |
| [00:41.28] |
You were braiding your grey hair |
| [00:45.35] |
And it's grown so long |
| [00:47.67] |
Since I've been gone |
| [00:53.20] |
Now the perfect girls |
| [00:54.83] |
By the pool they would protest |
| [00:57.69] |
With crosses 'round their necks |
| [01:02.59] |
But our sons were overseas |
| [01:03.72] |
And we all know about the hive and the honey bees |
| [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 |
| [01:34.18] |
With your Bible and your wedding band |
| [01:38.24] |
Both hidden on the TV stand |
| [01:40.87] |
And the cruel wind blew |
| [01:45.82] |
Every city father fell |
| [01:47.70] |
Off the county carousel |
| [01:51.83] |
While the dogs were eating snow |
| [01:54.33] |
All our sons had sunk in a trunk |
| [01:58.98] |
Of no one's clothes |
| [02:03.17] |
Almost home |
| [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 |
