The Mountain Goats - Song For An Old Friend lyrics

The garter snake pa**ed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgra** There was cold, clear water in a tall, clean gla** The sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted I saw the condensation on your hand I could feel the glaciers melting And a warm, soft wind Covered up everything On the day your love came screaming through me You had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you And seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you You smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay Good old east rutherford three thousand miles away I felt the warm surge blast my mind Coming in from behind On the day your love came screaming through me In the fresh light of day I felt something falling away On the day your love came screaming through me
