"Mourning In America" lyrics - THE MILK CARTON KIDS

THE MILK CARTON KIDS
"Mourning In America"

Fell asleep with the TV on
Finally feelin' like I belong
Woke up to a funeral song
Called you up to say "hello"
Left a message for you at home
Packed my dishes in styrofoam
Everything I knew is gone

[Chorus:]
It's raining in Ohio
The streets are slick, shows what I know
I hear their cries through my window
They're mourning again in America
Mourning again in America

Tied my shoes when I woke up
Drew my curtains just enough
Though about the ones I loved
Tucked my chin into my coat
Shrugged my shoulders, cleared my throat
Walked the banks of the Ohio
Felt a chill to the bone

[Chorus:]
It's raining in Ohio
The streets are slick, shows what I know
I hear their cries through my window
They're mourning again in America
Mourning again in America
Mourning again in America
Mourning again in America
