    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 Writer/s: Sufjan Stevens
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management
