Stalled
Handsome Family

The giant of Illinois

Died from a blister on his toe

After walking all day through the first winter's snow

Throwing bits of stale bread to the last speckled doves

He never even felt his shoe full of blood

Delirious with pain, his bedroom walls began to glow

And he felt himself soaring up through falling snow

And the sky was a woman's arms

The sky was a woman's arms

A boy with a club foot

Had sat next to him in school

Once upon a summer's day they went wandering through the woods

They spotted a sleeping swan

On the banks of a muddy stream

And they stormed it with rock still it collapsed in the reeds

They lay out on a green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade

But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid

Because the sky was a woman's arms

The sky was a woman's arms

Lyrics by Handsome Family

  24-Hour Store   A Shadow Underneath   Bury Me Here   Cathedrals   Down In The Ground   Down In The Valley Of Hollow Logs   Dry Bones   Everything that rises must converge   Fallen Peaches   Famous Blue Raincoat   Far From Any Road   Gail With The Golden Hair   I Fell   If the World Should End In Fire   If the World Should End In Ice   Last Night I Went Out Walking   My Ghost   My Sister's Tiny Hands   Sleepy   The Bottomless Hole   The Giant Of Illinois   The Woman Downstairs   Weightless Again   Where The Birch Trees Lean   Whitehaven   Whitehaven
