the mountain goats - distant stations lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i found an old rock in the dry dirt outside
the door of my motel room
it was a triangle with soft, rounded edges
and a split down the middle of one corner
it was darker than english moss
green like the soft frills of a peac-ck’s plume

[chorus 1]
i waited for you
but i never told you where i was
it was you who taught me how
to write these kinds of equations
i waited on the steps for you
and i hid in the bushes whenever a car pulled into the parking lot
you taught me how
to listen to these
distant stations
distant stations

[verse 2]
i saw the sky break
i threw a rock at a crow who was playing in the mulch of some rosebushes by the motel office
missed him by a good yard or two
i sang old songs from nowhere
los angeles, albuquerque
i said a small prayer for the poor and the naked and the hungry
and i prayed real hard for you

[chorus 2]
i waited for you
but i never told you where i was
it was you who taught me how
to write this kind of equation
i waited on the steps for you
and i hid in the bushes whenever i saw a car pull into the parking lot
you taught me how
to listen to these
distant stations
distant stations
