Comes Indiana Through The Smoke Lyrics - Okkervil River

So does the ink dry out? 

So does the singing mouth get sown up? 

So does the new headline no longer reach the town? 

So does the rosy fire of the horizon fade into dull grey? 

While the trees out by the parking lot get greener with the rain 

On a dazzling field of blue 

She comes sailing into view 

All around her engines screaming, guns unload 

Comes Indiana through the smoke 

Indiana through the smoke

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But you were bigger than life 

You were giant 

You were earth-sized 

And now you're mostly just your mind 

And your dim eyes 

And your fractured spine 

And you sail into the great unknown 

But you've got to go alone there 

You can't even take your child or bride 

But it's okay and she's crying 

With her OS2U fleet 

Anti-aircraft battery 

She is occupied by eighteen hundred souls 

Comes Indiana through the smoke 

Indiana through the smoke 

Photos 

And this great big buzzing death hole swells 

At the corner of the carpet 

Nurses going in and out 

Well they all just step around it 

And the room is moving in so close 

As some moments come in nearer 

And your story's coming out so slow 

But I come closer and can hear her 

And she steams out Casco Bay 

Part of Taskforce 58 

And the young men board her, all love brave and bold 

Comes Indiana through the smoke 

Indiana through the smoke 

She won't sink or run aground 

She won't turn back, she won't back down 

When you find her time to finally let go 

Comes Indiana through the smoke 

Indiana through the smoke
