the mountain goats - love cuts the strings lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
first thing that happened was the river overflowed
the water running through the streets and was sweet and cold
i knelt by the water like a doe by a stream
punch-drunk, snowblind, as though the whole thing were a bad dream

[chorus 1]
and then love called out the heavy artillery
and kypris took the horses by the bit for the morning ride
i count my blessings but you can only be expected to count so high
when love cuts the strings

[verse 2]
i smeared myself with pennyroyal to keep the hounds at bay
and you poked your head out of an alley half a block away
and i recognized you though i’m not sure how
and the air turned red around you
as a dull chill came down over me

[chorus 2]
and then love summoned up the infantry
and the green-eyed goddess got ready for all-out war
i count my blessings
but i don’t even know what the word blessing means
when love cuts the strings

[outro]
yeah!
