The Milk Carton Kids - The Ash & Clay lyrics

[The Milk Carton Kids - The Ash & Clay lyrics]

The swing sets are empty like dirt
Turned the dark of the night
The center of this town it used to
Whirl in the glow of twilight
It might look like God's away with
All the trouble these days

We'll come home before the girls are grown
We're coming home tonight

What, oh, have we done to run this
Country into such a sight?
Stolen from our brothers like we couldn't
Find a fair enough fight
You wait on promise, you will say
Won't forsake the ash and clay

Let's come home before the girls are grown
Let's come home to fight

I know we want what's best for us


I know it has to come at a price
I also know the trouble that you
Find when you stop being nice
You look around you, one day
What you once knew didn't stay

Let's come home before the girls are grown
Let's come home tonight oooh, ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Have you ever asked a man to take your
Place at the head of the table?
You could shed away your shame if in the
End you found you simply weren't able
You might find out you could stay on
The ash and on the clay

Come on home before the girls are grown
Come on home tonight oooh, ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Come on home before the girls are grown
Come on home to fight
