The Ash & Clay Lyrics - The Ash & Clay - The Milk Carton Kids

The swing sets are empty like dirt turned the dark of the night 

The center of this town it used to whirl in the glow of twilight 

It might look like god's away with all the trouble these days 

We'll come home before the girls are grown 

We're coming home tonight 

What, oh, have we done to run this country into such a sight 

Stolen from our brothers like we couldn't find a fair enough fight 

You wait on promise you will say 

Won't forsake the ash and clay 

Let's come home before the girls are grown 

Let's come home to fight

I know we want whats best for us-i know it has to come at a price 

I also know the trouble that you find when you stop being nice 

You look around you one day 

What you once knew didn't stay 

Let's come home before the girls are grown 

Let's come home tonight

Have you ever asked a man to take your place at the head of the table? 

You could shed away your shame if in the end 

You found you simply weren't able 

You might find out you could stay 

On the ash and on the clay 

Come on home before the girls are grown 

Come on home tonight 

Come on home before the girls are grown 

Come on home to fight
