Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days (Deluxe Edition)

Sodom, South Georgia

Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well

And Sodom, South Georgia
Woke like a tree full of bees
Buried in Christmas
Bows and a blanket of weeds

Papa died Sunday, and I understood
All dead white boys say God is good
White tongues hang out, God is good
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Papa died while my girl
Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like eyes
On a crack in the door

And Sodom, South Georgia
Slept on an acre of bones
Slept through Christmas
Slept like a bucket of snow

Papa died Sunday, and I understood
All dead white boys say God is good
White tongues hang out, God is good

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
