Testo: Mountain Goats, The. Earth Air Water And Trees.

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
