Almost home
when I missed the bottom stair
You were braiding your grey hair
And it's grown so long
Since I've been gone

and the perfect girls,
By the pool, they would protest
a cross 'round their necks,
But our sons were overseas,
And we all know about the hive and the honey bees.

Almost home
With an olive branch and a dove
You were beating on a persian rug
With your bible and your wedding band
Both hidden on the TV stand.

when the cruel wind blew
Every city father fell
Off the county carousel
While the dogs were eating snow
All our sons had sunk in a trunk
Of no ones clothes

Almost home,
We got lost on our new street,
While your grieving girls all died in their sleep,
So the dogs all went unfed,
A great dream of bones all piled on a bed

And the cops couldn't care,
When that crackhead built a boat
And said, "please, before I go
May your only honor bond
Be the kinship of the kids in the riot squad.
