Verse 1
She Used To Dance In The Gutter
Found Gold In The Cold Of A Summer Rain
Had It All, Had Enough, Didn't Need Much Anyway
She Used To Say When It's Over
I Hope They Laugh At The Funeral
Guess I Never Thought Like That
Verse 2
She Used To Glide On The Water
Oh, The Wake And The Waves Must Have Taught Her Right
Don't It All Come And Go Like The Southern Tide
She Used To Live Like A Martyr
Swore She Felt Strong In The Harder Times
Guess I Never Fought Like That
Chorus
And She Said
I'll Carry The Casket
I'll Carry You And The World
When Did We Get So Very Ecclesiastic
Why Do You Sing Canary, Canary Bird
Instrumental
Verse 3
She's Older Now, Can You Blame Her
Stopped Thinking Out Loud Just To Save Her Breath
You Gave It All, Gave It All, Now There's Nothing Left
She's Finding Out At The Day End Good Men
Get Buried Facing Down
Guess She Never Thought Like That
Chorus
When She Said
I'll Carry The Casket
I'll Carry You And The World
When Did We Get So Very Ecclesiastic
Why Do You Sing Canary, Canary Bird
Instrumental
Bridge
And She's Talking To God
And She's Wondering Why
This Bridge She Built
Fell In The Great Divide
She Should Know Better Now
But She's Still Gotta Try
Without Her Here
Who Makes It Out Alive
You Can Kick Up The Dirt
You Can Spit In The Sky
But Dust Off Your Shoes
And Close Both Your Eyes
'Cause It's Harder To Feel
But It's Easy To Find
Locked In Her Cage
In An Empty Mine
Chorus 2
And He Said
I'll Carry The Casket
I'll Carry You And The World
When Did You Get So Very Ecclesiastic
I'll Teach You To Sing Canary, Canary Bird
