Carrie & Lowell

Carrie and Lowell Such a long time ago Like a dead horse Meadowlark drive your arrow Season of hope (after the flood) Valentine, spurn my sorrow Head on the floorboards (covered in blood) Drunk as a horsefly Climb on the mattress pad Twist my arm Under the pear tree Shadows and light conspiring Covered bridge, I scream Cottage Grove shade invite me I will bow down (Dido's lament) Lord of the ancient waters From the backyard (as far as she went) Carrie surprised me Erebus on my back My lucky charm Carried by stones Fairyland all around us Like a dead horse Sign of your children's fever Carrie, come home (Thorazine's friend) Holding your hands with opal Like a dead horse (shall we ascend) Flight of the mayfly Ephemera on my back She breaks my arm --- Carrie & Lowell - Sufjan Stevens
