August 28th the rain slid in like a brooding lullaby 
the barn by the school burnt down, the cat got the bird whole town watched man jump from fifth story roof 
I think the whole world needs a shoeshine
I think we're all living proof
so the story goes

Some days it's a present that you open
some days it's a box of nails
sometimes you think you spend your whole life 
counting grains of sand
some blood on your cuff and some dust in your eye
and some train station love
we've been, we've been out there fighting the good fight
where have you been? where have you been? 

yeah so saddle up for the carnival ride
bring the celebration home 
I got a coffee cup full of whiskey 
and  you got a broken violin

Marie built a scarf for the dogwood tree 
that looked cold all winter long
the old man smiled at pigeon
stole his last piece of bread
halleluiah flying on the back of leaving swan dreams
we got our hats tipped to Camelot, 
we got a long, long way to go
yeah we got a long, long way to go 

yeah so saddle up for the carnival ride
bring the celebration home
I got a coffee cup full of whiskey 
and you got a broken violin

saddle up for the carnival ride
bring the celebration home
we've been out there fighting the good fight long,
where have you gone? Oh, where have you gone?
