The Mountain Goats - Alpha Omega lyrics

On the morning you went away The air was humid and the sky was grey I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia The air was wet, my face was wetter The pink flowers along the western window made me feel better I turned the air conditioner on Found the note on scented stationary, you were long gone I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia I popped the top off of the aluminum can Let the brine slide down my fingers, man It was warm, it was warm on my skin But i felt the cold blast looming on in I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from Cairo, Georgia
