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

They come to me clear and cold

Some say

The Wives of Earl spinning weaves

At that 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
