Gregory Alan Isakov The Stable Song Lyrics

remember when our songs where just like prayers. like gospel hymns
that you called in the air. come down come down sweet reverance,
unto my simple house and ring... and ring.

ring like silver, ring like gold ring out those ghosts on the ohio ring
like clear day wedding bells were we the belly of the beast or the
sword that fell...we'll never tell.

come to me clear and cold on some sea watch the world spinning
waves..like some machine

now i've been 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 well and drank and sang, and passed in the stable.

that tall grass grows high and brown, well i dragged 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...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..its ringing

ring like crazy, ring like hell turn me back into that wild haired gale
ring like silver, ring like gold turn these diamonds straight back into
coal.
