3, 4

[Verse 1]
Carrie and Lowell
Such a long time ago
Like a dead horse
Meadowlark, drive your arrow

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage Grove shade, invite me

[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children’s fever

[Chorus 3]
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
