Earth Air Water and Trees Songtext

von The Mountain Goats

Through the shifting colors in the sky
I heard the wild geese call
The light was bright and clear and cold
Over eastern montreall
And although
I know
Your only toying with me now
And although
You hold
You affection for me like a
Bone on a string
I love you
I love you because
You gave me sausage and chees
When I was hungry

You hold your closed hand out to me
And you told me to guess
What you had inside
And I had a thousand guesses
Some of them were good
But I was sure I was loosing my mind
And then the sent came rising
Though the spaces between your fingers
Then the sent called to me
And I knew we'd last
At least till the end of december
And I love you
I love you because
You gave me sausage and cheese
When I was hungry
