The Stable Song - Gregory Alan Isakov
I know when a song's good
Just like clear
Like gospel hymns that you call in the air
Come down come down
Sweet reverent
Until my simple heart sound ring
And ring
Ring like silver ring like gold
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Ring like clear day wedding balls
In the belly of the best
Or the sword that fell
I'll never tell
Come to me clear and cold
Some say
The Wives of Earl spinning weaves
Like some machine
I've gone crazy couldn't you tell
I threw stones at the stars
But the whole sky fell
Now I'm covered up in straw belly
Up on the table
And I drank and sang and passed unstable
That tall grass grows high and brown
Well I drank you straight
In the muddy ground
And you sent me back to where I roam
Well I cursed and I cried but now I know
Oh now I know
And I ran back to that hollow again
The moon was just a sliver back then
And I ached for my heart
Like some tin man
When it came oh it beat
And it boiled and it rang
Oh it's ringing
Ring like crazy
Ring like hell
Turn me back into that wild haired Gil
Ring like silver ring like gold
Turn these diamonds straight back into gold
Turn these diamonds straight back into gold
Turn these diamonds straight back
