Sodom, South Georgia Lyrics - Our Endless Numbered Days - Iron & Wine

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" 

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
