Carrie & Lowell

SUFJAN STEVENS · Carrie & Lowell 2015 · Track 07 of 11

Written by Sufjan Stevens

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 Opai Like a dead horse (Shall we ascend) Flight of the mayfly Ephemera on my back She breaks my arm
